Power,

Check out the downloads section of UT. I put a some VB code for a winsock control wrapper so that you can use it in VFP. There is also a VFP form in the file that shows how to use the control, etc. If you need any help, just give me a shout. The file is called wswrap.zip and you should be able to find it in the recent entries section.
