i have heard of this net send command but its not working in command promt, i was wondering is there a way through access 2003 to do it ???

Yes you can do this in Access.

I've seen a download some where, so its available if you can find it.

Basicly you have a hidden form in your DB with a timer event that check a backend table periodically for a flag to say a message is present, if there is a message, the code displays the message on the form and then makes the form visible.
