Hi all,

I have developed an application in VB/SQL Server.

Currently I am sending alerts/reminders to all the users using a sql job that sends net send message and email. We will soon roll out the application in different locations who will connect through vpn or p2p links in which case net send may not work. I have created a messenger like pop-up feature to receive udp messages and display them. My question is, can SQL Server send UDP messages or will I need to write an application that will sit on the server and execute the sp at regular intervals?

Thanks in advance,

Adi
