I forgot to say, because I'm an idiot sometimes, that it uses the VFP9 _GDIPlus class. That was the reason I had to write my service in VFP9. Now, another use is needed in the VFP8 code to do very similar stuff.

>I agree with Jeff. You should be able to just drop the WinSock control onto a form and copy and paste the code. Think ActiveX control rather than a COM server.

>>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.

>>UPDATE: Also, any comment to what Jeff said in the thread about it needing to be an EXE instead of a DLL?
