I guess it's me shouwing my lack of knowledge - I do not understand the
commands I looked around and thouoght maybe this would work Sub test_notify() shell (NetSend & "159.157.11.229" & hi there) End Sub macro's that have been created via VB in EXCEL - I have been asked to 'add' to the macro a method of notification - I know I can do the below command via a DOS prompt net send 157.159.99.123 hi this is the message I am sending net send 157.159.99.124 you to also need to recv a message I would like to find a way to send a message such as those above to 'specific IPs ' on my net work with in the macro is this possible?

Sorry - I hit the button to soon
I thought I might be able to run the below Sub test_notify() shell (NetSend & "157.159.12.123" & hi there) End Sub That was not working - I do not understand the comand you sent Public Sub NetSend(rsUsername As String, _ rsMessage As String) Shell "net send " & rsUsername & " " & Chr$(34) _ & rsMessage & Chr$(34) End Sub would I set it up like this Public Sub NetSend(rsUsername As String, _ rsMessage As String) Shell "net send " & rsUsername & "157.159.12.123 " & & rsMessage & "hi there" End Sub "Kathy" wrote: I have macro's that have been created via VB in EXCEL - I have been asked to 'add' to the macro a method of notification - I know I can do the below command via a DOS prompt net send 157.159.99.123 hi this is the message I am sending net send 157.159.99.124 you to also need to recv a message I would like to find a way to send a message such as those above to 'specific IPs ' on my net work with in the macro is this possible?

You would leave the subroutine alone, but you would use it in your code like this: NetSend "157.159.12.123", "hi there" That would send the message "hi there" to the computer on the IP address 157.159.12.123. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] |
