VBA chat over a network

[nocty]

basically i want to build into an office document (preferebly word) a bit of vba so that the people running the document can communicate across a network with a instant messenger style interface.

(no need to worry about the interface, i would appreciate if anyone could give me the basic code for the framework of it)

Sorry.
You give no version.
You want to chat using an interface you don't need.
What is the VBA supposed to do?

Can you give us more info?

sorry, i got myself very confused in a rush. i figured it all out now. basically im trying to make an office template that is used by all the users on a network (LAN)include a very basic instant messaging system so they can communicate with each other. Im making it for 97/2000.

You said:

Does that mean you don't need help?
Word doesn't come with an instant messaging system, nor does the entire Office suite--at least not in Office 97, so I'd forget some kind of *correlation* between the two.

However, you can use Yahoo instant messenger or Netmeeting...
