Newbie Interprocess message_thread user

I'm new to Boost and new to Linux. But old to Windows. So I'm doing some initial development in Windows XP. I have two executables made in different projects. I planned on using a message_queue to communicate between the two applications. But sending a message from one app does not make it to the other. I can add and handle messages from one thread to another within the same application. SO I know I have things partially setup correctly. But now I'm at a complete loss. Should two exe files be able to communicate through Boost message_queues? Or am I misunderstanding the whole thing?

Have you tried to execute the example shown in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/interprocess/synchronization_m... Best, Ion

Best,

That's just the kick I needed. the example programs worked as I hoped and I was able to fix my problem in quick order. Thank you.
