Send message through Access/VB to online users of a Multi-User Access Applicatio

[Manchery]

Hello, I have a Multi-User Access Database and I would
like to send a message to all those who are online with
this application. I am sending message to all online
users, now through our mail application - Lotus Notes, but
if they didnt open Lotus Notes they wont get message
immediately. So, is there any option to send a message as
a Popup Message through network or with VBA. I dont have
network administrator right, i am as a user only on our
network. Please provide me ur suggestions either to my
email: (e-mail address removed), waiting for ur valuable
response,, regards

Perhaps you could work with an invisible form & a timer
(form_timer)

Let the procedure check a table for new message & display
a messagebox if there is one. Putting a value in a
variable when the message has been seen.

Or you could let it display in the current form's caption
or statusbar so they cannot accidentally click it away.

Appreciate your comments. I am the administrator for this
database and there are 6 (approx) or more users online at
a time. so how can i use a form_timer to check this new
message in table, coz while running a form with timer,
users will not be able to work or their work will be
stopped. please assist me by providing more details,,
regards
