Message to multiusers to log off "Steve M" <baz100uknosp[ at ]hotmail.com> 06.12.2005 20:28:36 Hi I have split my database as suggested on this group. I want to be able to send a message to my users to log off in case I need to update. I will try to keep this to out of hours but we can be 24hours manned and users are in many different offices. I tried a message macro and assigned a shortcut key but in only shows the message on my machine. Any help would be appriciated. cheers steve
