Popups in a multiuser environment

[brucle]

I have created a pop up form that works fine as long as there is only one user in the database. If I have multiple users, only one person gets the popup. Is it possible to have everyone get the popup form? Can the pop up be set to only show up if another form is open on the database ( the multiple users use different sections of the database). Any other suggestions?

thanks,

Bruce

Multiple users means that the database should be a frontend/backend split and the users should all have a copy of the front end on their desktop. Then, it's like only one user at a time is in the database, at least in the frontend's perspective.

Bob is correct in regards to the FE/BE approach. Also you can create a table to input your message and have your users form check the table for a new message. If there is a new message display it to your user.

Thanks for the help

It seems I need to rethink the entire project- back to the drawing board...

have a GREAT day!
