net send instant messaging 1

[OnLiner]

Hi all
not so long ago i found a thread that shows how to use the net send command in vb i believe which mocks an instant message program. I searched for it again but can't find it. Anyone know how I use the net send command in vb or macro? or know where that thread is?

Thanks!!

One way in VBA:
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").Run "NET SEND * my message"

Hope This Helps, PH.

what is the "Scripting.fileSystemObject" part mean?
I copy/pasted this into the code builder in access and got a debug error.

You need to set a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime".

VBE > Tools > References
