Shell ("NET SEND...")

[Guest]

I have in my system one form to verify who is logged in a specified
database. At same point, I have the option to send to a connected user a
message and for this I use the command Sheel as below:

Shell ("NET SEND """ & CompName & """ " & msg)

where CompName is grabed from the database and msg is a text I enter in a
TextBox.

The thing is, I noticed that my users with Windows XP are not receiving the
message. Today, 99% of the users are using Windows 2000 Pro, but more and
more will migrate to XP.

Am my missing anything in this command to work also in XP?
Should I be using something else?

Thanks for any help
