Hello, I have a Multi-User Access Database and I would
like to send a message to all those who are online with
this application. I am sending message to all online
users, now through our mail application - Lotus Notes, but
if they didnt open Lotus Notes they wont get message
immediately. So, is there any option to send a message as
a Popup Message through network or with VBA. I dont have
network administrator right, i am as a user only on our
network. Please provide me ur suggestions either to my
email: (e-mail address removed), waiting for ur valuable
response,, regards
 
Perhaps you could work with an invisible form & a timer
(form_timer)

Let the procedure check a table for new message & display
a messagebox if there is one. Putting a value in a
variable when the message has been seen.

Or you could let it display in the current form's caption
or statusbar so they cannot accidentally click it away.
 
Appreciate your comments. I am the administrator for this
database and there are 6 (approx) or more users online at
a time. so how can i use a form_timer to check this new
message in table, coz while running a form with timer,
users will not be able to work or their work will be
stopped. please assist me by providing more details,,
regards
 
if you dont mind, can we talk through email pls my email
