Warning from a service

[carlblanchard]

Hey all

What do you think about this method of proceding with the task

Write a service, that checks SQL DB every hour and if records are found it sends a notice to the system user in a way of NETSEND or msgbox

Ive tired msgbox and i guess it can be used from a service because nothing happened......

Whats all your comments

Cheers Carl

Sending a message box if no one is logged in will crash the app.

Send the person an email - that way they'll get notified even if they're not logged in or at a different machine (like maybe home or work)

If you send the email to a hotmail account, the toast will pop on their MSN Messenger to tell them about the new email.
