I actually have 2 questions:

Answer 1

RE: How might I see who is using my Access database? •E.g: There is someone with an Access database opened and it created the .ldb file, I would like to see a list of who opened that database (it could be more than one person).

Just happened across this while looking for something else, and I thought I might share what I do for this. Note that this assumes that the host computer (the computer on which the database file resides) uses file sharing to provide access to the file.

You will need to be on the host computer, or have authority to connect to that machine.

click Start right-click My Computer and select Manage

if you're not on the host computer, right-click 'Computer Management' and enter the host's name

Expand 'Shared Folders' and click on 'Open Files' At the right is the list of currently open files with the username for each current user
