>hi all,
>i was wondering if anyone had used VFP to push data based on events. what i was thinking about was having a simple message centre that would be updated when someone sent a message to that person and instead of using a timer to update the screen every 60 seconds have the sender push the mesage to the recipient.

Using BindEvent/ VFP 9/ Outlook Service/ combination: I had a one PC that would interrogate incoming messages for a particular named attachment, that when found would start unpack the attachment (an Excel Spreadsheet) that was then generated into a HTML file via a VFP print to PDF/HTML print server. The only thing that the user saw on the PC was that the inbound message was suddenly marked as read! The user did not have to be logged in as this was run as a service!
