Hi Alex,
I had some of the same ideas that you suggested, a timer that
checks a database periodically for new messages...
However, I don't want to write this application.
I would like to buy a basic module that I could tweek.
It could be in VFP or a fully developed Windows App that
is configurable.
Thanks for your input!
Anybody have know of a app like this?

) that takes care of user login/logout, then your app (framework) knows when users are logged in. You could add a timer in the framework, inherited by your Application Object (oApp
) that checks a database periodically for new messages directed to cUserId = CurrentUserId
or to AllUsers
, within a certain timeframe, or after the last DateTimeStamp check, or whatever you want. If it returns true, then you can popup a modal form shpowing the message and optionally allowing for a reply.
