Creating Windows Message Service Alert
Steve,
As long as the Messenger service is running on the required computers: http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/n...buffersend.htm NickHK "SteveC" wrote in message ... I do not know exactly what this alert is called -- its the kind of alert that is seldomly used -- you usually see it when the network admin has an emergency announcement that it will shut down all computers in 5 min. A few years ago spammers found a way to get hold of this alert service in windows and most people permanently disabled it. This alert is basically a message box, but I think is tied to the operating system, not any office program or vba. Anyhow, if you know what I'm describing -- how to create this type of an alert from an Excel macro. I got a lot of great help regarding sound alerts and email alerts yesterday -- wondering now if I could instead create a "message box alert" that I can send to specific user on the network, assuming I know the user names. Thanks very much for your help. SteveC |
