>I have developed the need to communicate directly with a couple of my VFP5 projects via winsock ( using tcpip). I have found quite abit of information for using winsock objects/commands in VB projects, but little in using winsock for VFP. I have gotten hold of a sample winsock project for VB and am in the process of creating the identical project in VFP5.

And then issue a thisform.tnTalk.connect(). Nothing happens when I issue the connect(). No errors, no change in state, nothing. Not even an outgoing attempt is listed in netstat /a.
