Peter, Take a look at Kevin Ragsdale's Desktop Alerts. Simple class and it does exactly what you want. Looks good as well:

What I want to do is show a Balloon tip when a Purchase Order is ready for Authorising. So far I have added the System tray class from the Solutions/Toledo Folder to the project Added the Systray Class to the main form. Set its properties IconFile = Full path and filename for the A Wills Log Icon. TipText = "Arnold Wills Purchase Orders. MenuText = SysTrayShortcut.mpr MenuTextIsMPR = .T. if MenuText contains the name of an MPR file. Created a Shortcut Menu " SysTrayShortcut.mnx" Added a timer to the form which checks to see if the memo field in a notes table has changed Interval 10000 Timer Code OpenDbfs("notes") If !Empty(Notes.Note) If Alltrim(Notes.Note) <> Alltrim(ThisForm.cNotes) && Holds contents of notes field from last time Do Form frmNotes.scx EndIf EndIf ThisForm.cNotes = Alltrim(Notes.Note) Select Notes Use The Icon Shows O.K. The Tip text shows O.K. when hovered over. The menu doesn't show either by Clicking on Icon or Right Clicking on Icon. I get a message " 'winapi_shell_notify.prg' does not exist " when the timer kicks in. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Peter Peter Hart Computers.
