I have created a very simple Office 2013 Standard installation scri-pt, this I wanted to “offer” to our users, a long with a “Nag” message to basically keep the offer on screen if they’ve not run the offer (after 7 days).
I had no problems getting the offer “balloon” to pop up, However in my test (by using a much shorter deadline timeout) I cannot get the message to show on screen at all (the offer balloon pop’s up no problems).
It “feels” like I’ve missed a client setting or something really obvious, but hey ho when you spend time staring waiting for the answer to appear, it never does!
Thanks for the reply, I’ve unfortunately been tied up on another project, but back working on this one again.
I tried what you suggested, however after the initial balloon pop up, I still don’t get the message on screen at all - let alone “keep topmost” I’ve been using a 10 minute deadline for testing.
Unsure really what to try next, maybe I need to configure the client to pop up messages, but I cannot see anything obvious.
For clarification, Offers are always optional and are user initiated. Users can optionally be notified of their existence, but this doesn’t force them to use them at all.
“Messages” can be optional (allow the user to cancel) or mandatory (fire off after a deadline, or stay top most until user accepts), but are put in the user’s face, more or less requiring user response of some kind.
