Tom here has just cut his teeth on an internal messaging system doing exactly the same. You can either send internal messages (Via VFP Tables) or email messages via Blatt.
As has been said, VFP eats it up. The most difficult thing was designing the user interface in terms of allowing users to see other people's messages or "group messages" as we call them as opposed to keeping messages private between users.

I've been very successful setting up large production apps where tasks are passed between machines by updating a shared "queue" file with dates, times, status, and "who owns" a particular piece of data. Functions like LUPDATE() to determine if a file has new records, LOCK to lock a record to assure exclusive ownership before updating, SET REPROCESS to manage locking contention, make VFP an ideal multi-user app. On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 2:27 AM, Geoff Flight <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy guys! > > I stopped programming per se a few years back and went for a sea > change, but I still use a VFP app in my new business.
