Jon & Chuck,
Thank you guys so much for all your help. I found out 2 very valuable things about the Winsock client and VFP.
1) You must use the .OBJECT refrence when invoking the CONNECT or CLOSE event. For example:
ThisForm.olecontrol1.OBJECT.Connect()
2) You must use the following sintax to recieve data using the GETDATA event:
lcRecvData = ""
ThisForm.olecontrol1.GetData(@lcRecvData,8,bytestotal)
On the second one, I don't understand it fully, but thanks to the person who posted file #
1276 (remote host). I wouldn't have got that without them.
Sincerely,
Don Knoup
