Pop-up message in Outlook 2000?

[Hobbes]

I need to send a broadcast pop-up message through Outlook 2000 to all my users to warn them of viruses, company meetings, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any one know of a way to do this?&nbsp;&nbsp;I need something that removes my end-users from the equation, since they're a big part of the problem.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Hobbes

Not sure I follow that &quot;Remove your end users from the equation cause they are the problem&quot; Do you want to send them an e-mail??<br>Explain in more detail what's going on here.<br><br>If you go to each users PC and open Outlook and then select &quot;Display notification when new mail arrives&quot; it will pop up a message. Also if they have sound you can specify a unique sound or call a .WAV file so they will know they have a message.<br><br>Also outlook '98 and 2000 have a &quot;Rules Wizard&quot; that lets you specify a lot of other functions based on &quot;rules&quot; that an e-mail might meet. So you can customize it.<br>&nbsp;<br><br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.

By &quot;remove them from the equation&quot;, I want something automatic, say when they open Outlook, they get a message warning them not to open the &quot;life stages&quot; attachment.&nbsp;&nbsp;If we require them to open it, they may not.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a lot of remedial users.&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, what I'm looking for is something along the lines of the reminder feature, but with a customized message, and that goes off upon opening Outlook.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do I need a VB programmer?<br><br>Thanks again,<br>Hobbes

You need a programmer.&nbsp;&nbsp;You also need something like TrendMicros ScanMail which can scan your message store and remove that stuff before the users ever get it, even from internal mail. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
