Otto,
thank You very much.
I will test Your solution.
It is possible to send messages through cmd prompt to other systems
first we have to set our systems messenger ACTIVE. For it, follow these steps:
1. Go to RUN
2. Type : services.msc
3. Scroll down and right click on MESSENGER
4. Select PROPERTIES
5. Then for enabling it go to STARTUP TYPE and select AUTOMATIC
6. Then OK
And this should be performed on both sides (SENDER & RECEIVER).
After that if you want to send message then do the following steps:
1. Go to cmd prompt
2. Type syntax as follows:
net send <ipaddress of reciever> <message to be send>
Ex:
net send 172.16.6.99 "hello"
James,
it is just for testing the network-functions.
In my other programs there is a login-level included inside the section of the users and passwords defines.
It means as a sample the user defined with the lowest level can only read data ( level 1 )
with the highest level of 4 ( supervisor ) can PACK files and got all permissions.
If needed more levels can be defined.
With this solution I can hide buttons and parts of the program for each user.
regards
Uwe
