Hi,

I suggest you should use mscomm control.
Its very easy to use it.

Are you trying to send a message over a network to anyone who logs onto the network, or just to those that log onto a single machine?
also,
Is the message always the same?

No, to the people who just use the machine...and I want to be able to update and delete the message...

Its possible to do it now, without VB, windows has it inbuilt in there mmc, however you cant display what it is like a warning or a question

Once i have done this, im going to try and develop it further so they can reply...once they reply it will go into a Notepad that i can look at...

I would approach it like this. Write one app that would read a file on the network machines hard disk, and if there is a message in it, post the message in a msgbox. A shortcut to this app the would then be place in the startup menu for all users on the network machine. When someone logs on, this program would run, look for a message and post it.
You would then write another app that writes the files that the first app uses. This app would run from your machine when you want to run it.
