Need to send a pop-up message in Outlook 2000

[Hobbes]

I need to send a pop-up broadcast message to all my users on the network to warn against viruses, notify them of company meetings, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any one know of how I can do this easily?&nbsp;&nbsp;I need something automated, since most of my users are clueless, and I need to remove them from the loop in order to get this to work.&nbsp;&nbsp;They live and die by their e-mail, so this is how we need to get their attention.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Hobbes

DeborahCurry -<br>Can you go into this a little more?&nbsp;&nbsp;I am curious on how you set up global distribution lists, and how you use the net send command to point to this group.<br><br>Thanks! <p> Anonymous God<br><a href=mailto: anongod@hotmail.com> anongod@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>"Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.
