Is it possible to get the client process ID of an application that runs on SQL server?

Question

Hi all,

For my VFP application, i have a program to check currently who is accessing the server (by using sp_who2), also another progam to check who is currently locking which table.

But i wish to know which options my users is accessing at the moment. Am thinking if i can write a SP to get the current connected process ID for a specific client, and insert to a table(ActLog) in SQL with the program name pass into this table during users load the program. And delete that particular record when user unload the program.

Then from the ActLog, i can know who is currently accessing to which program. At the moment, i wish to know if i able to get the client process ID?
