I also had to send messages in a previous app, under FPW 2.6. And then no way like a timer-based function. So i "hooked" every form and button and textbox and so on, in fact each time Fox snoozed from idle state, putting .AND. TESTMESSSAGE() in each WHEN clause, and using a dbf like Vince does. The table had a memo field containing additivly the userid and a stamp for each message reader, delimited by period. A select staterment choosed the set of previous messages not yet accessed by that user, and an update of the memo prevented for further readings. Periodically deleting was performed by the first user accessing the table.
