IF USERID = 'user1' THEN

As I understand you want Navision to send a message to "another" screen as soon as 5 user are logged in. Navision has no direct messaging facility included. So you can't popup a message box on another screen, however with some small modification, this can be solved. Or you could choose to send that user a mail.

If you want urgent support, then buy a support ticket with Microsoft.
Putting urgent in your message is not the right way to get a response in this forum.

If the above code is executed in a fin.exe/finsql.exe client, the message is displayed on the user's screen. If this code is executed on a Application Server/Job Scheduler then it will appear on the screen (or in the even log) of that machine.

Call them on the phone?

There is no messaging functionality in NAV. You're looking at custom development if you really need this. I am sure that there are multiple options. The one I am thinking would probably involve a form that checks a message table every so many seconds.

Something like this:
Navision Messenger v01
Chat messages

Yeah exactly, that's probably why I am thinking of that idea
