I am trying to send a message over the network from excel, where the recipients name would be in a cell (or a list box), and the message to send was in a different cell.

I thought of using the net send via the dos command prompt eg net send computer.name message.to.send

Is this the best way? Can anyone help?

I am just starting out with VBA so any answers would need to be an idiots guide !!

Thanx
