I put a timer in the form to "see" changes in Winsock.state, I also set Application.AutoYield to .F. (then to .T.) , but the same result. I know that Windows manages the connection between the 2, but did anyone experience this ? What could I do to decrease that busy time ?

If you are using the Winsock control, add the Winsock1.Close command to be executed in the CLOSE event.

I had this problem with a client/server project I wrote in FoxPro a few months back.
