Page a person...

hello,
Can anyone tell me how to page when a certain criteria is reached??

Any pointers in this direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Renu

Page? what do you mean by page? and who would you want to page? What OS are you using?

If you mean page as in remind or warn (send message to client machine) and you are doing this on NT ... you could always use the command

z = shell("Net Send"+{Computername
}+{Msg},1)

This sends an un-ignorable message to a users machine (you have to specify their computer name and what message you wish to send)

good luck

Pager... is the little thing that beeps when u dial a pager number... something like phone... I do not know how to explain.

When my program has reached a criteria it should indicate to a particular person. Either we can automatically send an email or I was thinking if we could page him.

Thanks,
Renu

Email can be sent using NT, IIS, and the CDONTS library.

Or the CDO library using the CDO client email library.

To send a page your app will need a modem connection to dial up the paging vendor. This can be done using products such as Power Page, by Ron Tanner. Try "www.inventiveweb.com". It works great for me.

If u mean page as in messaging the guy, then you can use the MsgBox function.

Don't you guys know what a pager is?!
Well anyway... Renu: since you use the phone when you page someone, you could use the modem controlled by your app to dial the pagernumber. I don't think it's any harder than that...

hello friends
I think what renu is trying to do is something like what we have in sql server. IN sql server u can Schedule a mail when any particular task is completed it can send email to the specified address with the status.
Am i right renu? u can use mapi control to send email? It is explained in MSDN lib.... u can use that.
Thanx Manish
