hi,

Just need little help with logic please.

If I have a application open on 20+ system, all of which could be opened at different times.

How would I be able to ensure an Alert went to all OPEN Application.

I have the code for making a pop up alert already

Also use Access database

I was thinking of using 2 timers

1st timer checks every 5 minus if Alert Table has any alerts marked as not read (boolean)
If finds any then it displays the alerts, and disables itself and starts Timer 2

Timer 2 is set for 4 mins, so after 4 mins it will set the read flag in the table with the alerts to Read (and then stop itself and restart Timer 1.

I'm not sure if all the system would get display the Alerts before they are disabled (due to different startup times).

Can someone please help with my Logic.

Thanks
