the class i'm using is the one you can find at

http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/read-pop3-mail-using-winsock

i changed a couple of lines to use the object containing the activex class :

    PROCEDURE INIT  
*    THIS.oSocket = CREATEOBJECT('mswinsock.winsock')   
	If type('ofwsock')   = 'O'
	    THIS.oSocket = oFwsock.sock.object 
	else    
		THIS.oSocket = CREATEOBJECT('mswinsock.winsock')   
	EndIf 	
    ENDPROC  

and in the main procedure I put

ofwsock = CreateObject('fwsock')

fwsock is a form which contains an olecontrol named sock where i load the winsock activex
