Hello,
I am new to the forum, i am a vb programmer and i at current i am trying to built a class for my project. Inside the class i have some private members, a message string type that i fill it with info. My goal is to send messages across the network with the msg.exe utility that all windows support. I am working as a domain member with full previledges and my database is local in my machine. Well the problem is the following. When i go to my C:\Windows\system32 folder i find the msg.exe file. Also when i do start->run->cmd and type msg.exe and the correct parameters it also works. This does not happend when i try to call it from my access module.
Although it starts the command prompt and creates the bat file, it goes into the C:\Windows\System32 folder but it seems that there is no msg.exe there. But in graphic enviroment it exists. I noticed after many tries that when in the dos console that starts from vba i create a file, a simple txt, that does not being created in the C:\Windows\System32 gui folder as i cannot find it. It seems that vb sees another C:\Windows\system32 folder that does not have msg.exe and is diffirent from mine in the computer i work. The code is the following:
The bat file that is created in my desktop runs with double click(before is destroyed in the vba) but does not run with vba. It says that msg.exe cannot be found.
Thanks for the help.
