Problem getting information regarding the application connected to

I am using MSDE 2000 ,
I would like to get information from master..sysprocesses table
to see what programs are connected to the database.
I would to verfy how many times a particular program is connected to the
database
Lets say i would like to check the number of times program X is connected to
the
database.
The select statement is like Select * from master..sysprocesses where
program_name ='X'
but unfortunately whenever i connect using programX , the Program_name field
is Empty.
So I am unable to compare against the program name. Is there any other table
from which
i can gather consistent information? Any workaround would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance

ADO automatically provides this kind of information to SQL Server, where
SQL-DMO requires you to explicitely set it like
objServer.ApplicationName = App.EXEName
can you please check your data access model?
