I am working with a 6 user environment. What I am looking for is a way for someone to enter data and then force a msgbox to appear on an identify users screen. Any ideas
 
Hi dh,

i'm not entirely sure what you are after here - are you trying to log the user against the input so that when auditing data you can see who has entered it?

If thats the case would it not be better to get the user to log in to the system and then pass the id of the user to the input?

If i'm reading your suggestion right the message box would require the user to select who he/she is from a list/combo. imho this would leave the system open to input errors or misuse.

if i'm way of the mark please forgive me and try to give a fuller description of what you are trying to achieve.

Hope this helps,
Noel.
 
Sorry for the bad explanation. I would like for one user to be able to notify another user when something is complete without using e-mail. I was hoping one user can force a msgbox on another identified user's screen. Thanks for your help.
 
Hi dh,

I dont think you can do this using a msgbox. I would suggest that you look at using the ontimer event to look at a table that contains the message and the user id then dispaly the message on a pop up form on the recipients pc.

Regards,
Noel.
