Maybe you and bondito should team up. He posted very nearly the same topic.

Try VB6... there are cool tools in the Inet tool and Socket. Also, an easier one is ASP and JavaScript. Siply, with an Access DB, you can make messages and refresh with Javascript so you reader can view. But, then again, you can call upon another user like you could if you go with VB Socket and Inet Tools.
