>>Ok, let me add what might be a wrinkle to all of this. After looking at it a bit more closely, what I need to use is the MSWinsock OLE. Does that work the same way? It's not in the Class Library, but rather was added to the form in it's original use in a VFP9 service. Sorry if this all sounds a bit Newbie, but I've not worked with the COM type stuff and not alot with OLE other than finding what I needed and putting it on a form.
