You were right the bind will work BUT there is a strange quirk to it. Probably not to you but sure is to me. The winsock bind method will not allow the winsock.bind {Port}, {IP address} format unless the NIC card is attached to an external device. But will allow the winsock.bind {Port} method...

To the best of my knowledge the only part of the bind method allowed for UDP is >udpWinsock.Bind {PortNumber}< I think that >udpWinsock.Bind {PortNumber}, "192.168.1.20"< is only valid for TCP But then I have been wrong before. Thanks Tom

If I have 2 NIC cards how do I assign a UDP Winsock control to a given local IP address?

Ok That saves me looking through the shelves. Bye tom

Just so happens I have a couple of tape decks that can read the DC2120 tapes. If there is some way to contact me I can get one to you. If you pay the shipping. Or maybe I can get one setup and read your data. The rules are I am no allowed to post my address. Maybe if you contact the web master...

I have not been able to make the VA-20 work correctly if I use onboard video with Win98. I have 3 new boards and and all the trimmings. I tried loading updated drivers and every other trick I could of think of(or was suggested to me). The boards worked fine if I loaded Win2000 or worked with 98...

Just a thought Pull out all boards not required to run basics. I keep a couple of very basic video boards around just for testing flaky systems. I just tried to put a new Radeon PCI bus video card in a brand new Dell to run a second monitor and all kinds of strange things started happening...

This will be form wide by putting this in all forms the upper/lower is controlled by one constant. Set the form's KeyPreview property to true ------------------------------------------------ In a module Global Const allow_lower_case As Boolean = False or True to allow lower case...

MR Jebenson Fantastic solution!!! I have been working for 2 days to solve this problem. Thank you Thank you Tom

If you double-click on an .eml file in the windows explorer it will open in Outlook Expres email reader (Microsoft refers to it as a separate window). This is a separate window that opens, showing the message text and the attachment file names. If you use the Shell function in VB, it just opens...
