Sergey, That's an excellent example. It works fine but with one querk. When I run both client and server in the same instance of FoxPro on a single computer I can close either or both forms. If I run client and server on different computers, closing one form will make the other hang. Have you had experience with using Winsock? Do you have any idea why a form would hang? Thanks, Allen

>Maybe this could help SAMPLE: Use the Winsock ActiveX Control with Visual FoxPro mskb #315124.
