Sorry, I messed up and sent an empty reply previously.
I would create a table with 4 fields -- FromUser (Char), ToUser (Char), Message (memo field), Received (logical). Setup your app to automatically query this table for the ToUser = UserID that just logged in (from your Security system) and Not Recieved. If there are any new messages, automatically display them in a form with an option to review previously *received* messages. After the review a message, set the Received field to .t. I would also add a menu item to allow the user to access his/her messages at any time as well.
Of course you will have to add a procedure to create new messages for the table.
