You could look at the net send but people can turn the service off and on Win95/98 they don't have a net send service to pick up the messages.

>In my VFP 6.0 SP2 appliation, I have been using some third party APIs to sent Broadcast messages over the Novell network. The idea being that if someone wanted to communicate with all the other currently signed on users of the application, they could click on Broadcast Message from the menu, type in some text, and send. The other users would receive the message in a Novell messagebox. Now we have some sites with Win2000 servers. I would like to move away from the Novell APIs totally, but provide the same functionality.
