Well, a hack I could think of would be to have a table with messages,
and have code running on a timer in the background that polls the
linked table. When a record exists, it makes a note of it and does the
according action based on the data in the table, and makes an internal
note that the action has been dealt with, maybe with a local table (if
you need a permenant log of communication) or just internally in
memory (if the message in the table can be wiped after it expires, for
example, a shutdown notice).

Of course, this isn't real time, and the shorter the delay on
realizations the more of a performance hit you take from polling the
table across the network. Not sure if VBA has any socket code
capabilities.
