When I type the following code:

code:

---

If (StrComp(LCase(sCommand), "/xform", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
        sResult = "I am opening a form..."
        frm1.Show vbModal, Screen.ActiveForm
        ParseCommand = True
        Exit Function
End If

---

the form opens before "I am opening a form..." gets sent on the network. . is there any way to avoid that?

what are you makeing?

i suggest you read a bit more about programming

nah just kidding

sResult is the RESULT of the function your executing so its sent as the function result when the function ends. everything else in the function is executed immediately. so thats why the form is opened before the text is sent.

timer?

Of course it opens before the string is sent. That's because Plus! is "who" sends the sResult and it only gets it after the ParseCommand function has finished and then that function has already executed the .Show method.

try putting sResult = .... after the msgbox code, if that dont work then maybe use a timer to delay the messagebox
