>>>If the DLL is one VFP can use (I think that it is) and you know the specification, how you would access it would depend on the version of Windows. If you were running VFP 3.0/Win 3.1, then you would use the RegFN(), CallFN functions in FOXTOOLS to access the WINSOCK.DLL. Under VFP 3.0/5.0/Win 95, you'd use the DECLARE... DLL syntax for accessing WSOCK32.DLL.

Its 32 Bit, I'm using WSock32.DLL. The specific parameter is wVersionRequested which is the Version. I'm trying to 1.1 as the parameter but am having no luck......
