Does anybody out there know off-hand how to send the little
popup messages (net send <pc> message) from VB6
without calling up a DOS prompt?

I'd appreciate any advice or pointers in the right direction!

Hi Jon,
    One way would be to  use the attached .tlb file.
Just set a reference to it from VB.  This works from
VB4.  Should work from VB6. The usage is:

  Dim strPC As String
  Dim strMsg As String

  strPC = "MyPC"               'the name of the recipient
  strMsg = "This is a test."   'the message

  Call NetMessageBufferSend(0&, strPC, 0&, strMsg, _
            buflen:=LenB(strMsg))
