Not exactly sure what you mean by a system message ... so could be two
possibilities: email or a message box.

Look into these:

CDO.Message (send email)
MsgBox (popup a dialog box to the user)

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

Could someone please post example VBA code or script to send a system
message to user(s)? - Or point me to a web site that may help. This would
be
extremely helpful when Oulook is down.

Thanks much in advance.
