How to execute DOS commands from VB? 1

[Firemyst]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a VB6 application, and need to have it execute the DOS "net send userid message" command so that the particular user "userid" who's logged into the network will receive the "message" in the popup box on their workstation.

Can anyone please tell me how this is done?

Thanks!

I confess I'm having problems seeing a significant difference between the posts but, hey, Harlequin007 has ridden happily off into the sunset....

Oh, sorry, he didn't do the original post. OK let's start a fight!

oh and now I've gone and made an assumption about gender. Sorry Harlequin007 if I happen to have got it wrong. Today has not started well.

FYI:

I'm male.

I'm sorry for not reading the posts more thoroughly.

I'm now going to go cut my wrists

>for one thing it answered and solved the problem!

No more so than 3 previous posts. It was merely that repetition helped harlequin7 to see where (one of) his problems was ;-)
