Hi Geoff,

I never tried to use SendMessage to a remote computer. AFAIK, SendMessage doesn't have a capability for remoting. Maybe you can provide your own remote mechanism for in between send but I never tried this so I have no idea <g>. I think it's better for you to use an IPC (InterProcess Communication) mechanism for this, such as MailSlot, Name Pipes or you can also use WinSocket.

For between Apps you can send WM_COPYDATA message. I think there was a thread that shows the use of this message. I can't do the search for you, but you can search yourself since you are a PUTM :-)

Let me know if you can't find it or need more help on WM_COPYDATA

Regards
