I threw this together so that you could do some querying on the results

Declare @dbName varchar(150)
set @dbName = '[YOURDATABASENAME]'

--Total machine connections
--SELECT  COUNT(dbid) as TotalConnections FROM sys.sysprocesses WHERE dbid > 0

--Available connections
DECLARE @SPWHO1 TABLE (DBName VARCHAR(1000) NULL, NoOfAvailableConnections VARCHAR(1000) NULL, LoginName VARCHAR(1000) NULL)
INSERT INTO @SPWHO1 
    SELECT db_name(dbid), count(dbid), loginame FROM sys.sysprocesses WHERE dbid > 0 GROUP BY dbid, loginame
SELECT * FROM @SPWHO1 WHERE DBName = @dbName

--Running connections
DECLARE @SPWHO2 TABLE (SPID VARCHAR(1000), [Status] VARCHAR(1000) NULL, [Login] VARCHAR(1000) NULL, HostName VARCHAR(1000) NULL, BlkBy VARCHAR(1000) NULL, DBName VARCHAR(1000) NULL, Command VARCHAR(1000) NULL, CPUTime VARCHAR(1000) NULL, DiskIO VARCHAR(1000) NULL, LastBatch VARCHAR(1000) NULL, ProgramName VARCHAR(1000) NULL, SPID2 VARCHAR(1000) NULL, Request VARCHAR(1000) NULL)
INSERT INTO @SPWHO2 
    EXEC sp_who2 'Active'
SELECT * FROM @SPWHO2 WHERE DBName = @dbName
