>What I would really like to do is create an inner-office chat
>application. This would simply be a chat window which one worker
>can use to chat with another.
>
>To test, I created an ActiveX EXE with the following:
>
>- A public variable called sMessage which holds a string
>- A function called GetMessage, which returns the contents of sMessage
>- A sub called SetMessage which sets the value of sMessage
>
>I generated an ActiveX EXE on a network drive.
>
>Next I created a GUI with a reference set to the ActiveX EXE.
>
>It runs fine by itself. If I type in a string and hit "Set", then "Get"
>the message I types in is returned from the ActiveX EXE.
>
>If I try it with 2 GUI's, Setting in one, and getting in another, it
>doesnt work.
>
>Any ideas on this? Is this do-able?

>Thanks
