Thank you Charlie and Emmitt. Charlie,
I am already investigating a timer form and the problem there is how to keep that form on top and out of the way. My first try with MDI and PROPERTY RBASE_FORM STAY_ON_TOP 'ON' is not conclusive from the user's standpoint. Bob Castanaro's suggestion to run the timer form as a separate runtime application may work best since the app can be truly minimized to the desktop. Emmitt, My first thought was for RBADMIN and RCHAT. I tested it and the problems there are (1) the RCHAT form is way too big to keep on the users' desktop and (2) Absent a PAUSE-like alert or even a sound announcing the arrival of a message, minimizing the RCHAT form is not an option. Also, since RCHAT is not connected to a database and the "message" in question is written to an R:BASE table, that wouldn't work. I'm also looking at R:MAIL or MAPIMAIL to automatically send a message to some or all users. I'm doing all this to help Jean-Marc. Any other ideas or combination of ideas are welcome. Thanks, Claudine :) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Emmitt Dove Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 9:19 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: PAUSE output Claudine, Not from within R:BASE. See RBADMIN. Also, NET SEND from the command prompt has the capability. You could invoke this with a ZIP CMD /C approach. Open a CMD prompt and type NET SEND /? to see the options.

Is there a command with an output to all workstations? TIA, Claudine :)
