I think he(she) wants to page a Pager if so<br>
you need something that looks at the Com port<br>
VB Pro comes with a Comm Example<br>
you have to add an .OCX to your project<br>
It can be done in Access if VB is installed on the same machine.<br>
<br>
Then copy the MSCOMM.OCX to the machine that's running the Access database<br>
Of course you need a modem or modem sharing on your network.<br>
I have some code somewhere I created a VB app that lets you pass the pager number, the call back number and the com port as command line parameters<br>
If you want it let me know I don't have it here with me.<br>
