Hi Dave; Tried the code. It works great right out of the box. (Which is a good thing since I have no idea what makes it tick!) Thanks much! Alan

Thanks Dave; I had hoped that setting remoteport to 0 would have the same effect as setting the localport to 0--nope, I was wrong. A star to you sir! (By the way, any idea on how the server, recieving a connection request can determine the name --not just ip address--of the machine making the...

Hi All; Does setting _vfp.autoyield = .f. stop only ActiveX controlls from interrupting other program code, or does it que ALl windows events, including the vfp timer, for a wait state? Specifically, I have a form with only a vfp timer (going off every 20 seconds) and a winsock server...

Hi All; For anyone who is interested, I believe Markus Voellmy (with help), published WinSock OCXSample (Updated: 2005.12.29 08:49:02 AM) on the internet that solves most of my winsock questions. I highly recommend it to newbies like me. Thanks Markus! Alan

Oh; I'm using VFP 6.0 SP5. Thanks, Alan

Hi All; I'm completely new to this. After placing the winsock ole on a form, the following connection code consistently returns with a state "Error" of 9 even though Winsock is running on the remote host and I can ping it without difficulty: WITH THISFORM.oleSock IF .state != 0...

Thanks Mike, Best regards, Alan

Hi All; Sorry for my ignorance. I'm currently using VFP 6 SP5 and thinking about moving to the most current version of VFP (9?) before distributing anything. Can I go with a simple upgrade (VFP 9 upgrade) or buy anew (VFP 9 profressional) or both (VFP 9 profressional with VFP 9 upgrade)? And...

Hi All; In a network (local), how do I find the caller ip address of Machine B when it uses the native WinSock to reach Machine A? (i.e., Machine A is using WinSock as well and needs to know the IP Address of who just connected.) I'm using the native WinSock with VFP 6 SP5 and am trying to...

Hi Dave; Thanks for the reference! I really appreciate the downloads from your site. Many new concepts to me, Thanks, Alan

Thanks! I will try, Alan

Hi ; I get a nice print out--but nothing with the name of my service. Also, starting and stoping the service does not seem to change the amount of free memory available--so I really still don't know. Ideas? Alan

Hi All; I currently have a vfp tsr running as a service on machine A. Machine A also has the database for the network. Machine B accesses the database on Machine A via network. Currently, I have machine B placing a record in a 'job' que on machine A of which the tsr service checks...

Thanks! Alan

Hi All; Does anybody know how to get the physical memory size of a terminate and stay resident object? Just curious, Thanks, Alan
