Will you be able to end this long and terrible journey?

Hi there,

I'm a REAL beginner at vba, and I need to perform the following task :

In Access 2000, I need a button that when clicked, it will copy the text file "C:\source.txt" to an FTP site, usernameass@xxx.xxx.xxx

Now as I said, I am a real beginner. I found a few other forums explaining a bit about that task, but it was to rough for me. Can someone help me on getting started (for example, do I need something called "Winsock" or Inet, and how do I get these, and what do they do?). Please remember I am a beginner, don't get too "technical" if possible!

If someone can help me getting through this terrible task (it is for me, my boss is waiting and I don't know what to do!), I will forever owe you one...

Thanks!
Bella

Winsock is a component. You can add it to your project by clicking on project in the tool bar and then clicking on add component. Scroll the list list looking for winsock, check it and then hit apply. You will now see an extra icon on the left tool bar. It looks like 2 little computers with a red X in the middle. Draw that on to your form. Now you have the winsock. with this you will be able to transfer data over the internet. Unfortunatly it would take me hours to write you help on this from this point, so what you should do is look at this article and it will exsplain it from here.
