The line to use is something like: net name-of-recipient-computer Stick-your-message-in-here Give that a go, maybe someone else can fill me in here, I can't remember exactly how it is done... Otherwise do a search on the net. Someone else out there will know how to do this, and in a moment of boredom, put the details on a webpage. Alternatively you might find that there is a piece of software out there that will do it for you. :) Erin	Guest (0)

38200	2002-03-14 05:06:00	Cheers Kame I've had a quick play and this seems to do the trick. I put WINPOPUP in the startup on all PCs on my network and this is a go Thanks KJH	Guest (0)
