Send network message

[Steven]

Shell "NET SEND machinename 'Good Evening'"

I think I have my machine name correct.

I tried this using my machine name and did not get a response back.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Steven

if the messenger service is not started on both pc's, it won't work. and this
service was disabled by default because of internet porn a few years ago.

I forgot the spaces

Shell "NET SEND " & machinename & " Good Evening"

I think you are using machinename as a variable. Try this

Shell "NET SEND" & machinename & "Good Evening"

Shell expect a string. The string can be a catenation of other strings like
the example above.
