Reply To: Even on Groupwise startup

[Support 2]

Yes, it is possible. The code below will display a message box once a day in the client. We also have a free applet available on GroupWise Cool Solutions, Conditions of Use, which can be configured to display the pop-up terms on a daily, weekly, monthly basis etc.. As with all current applets on GroupWise Cool Solutions, The ‘Conditions of Use’ installer includes the source code.
