yes......the users don't want me to connect to the database and retrieve the information the easy way.....i tried discussing this with them......it's a security issue.......they want to send the info from oracle to a specified ip address, then have vb pick up the info from this ip address.....after that i know what to do it's just to get the info from the ip to vb i have no idea about
I dont know if this is more what you are looking for but this Thread talks of "Winsocking on the fly" thread222-109001

Hello!
I've been batting my head against the wall for 2 months with a similar problem but have finally solved it.
If you send me your email address, I'll send you a bare socket client/server program in VB6. It's "bare" because I removed all the processing of exchanged files in the real version and just return a test file sent from the server. There's also a README.TXT file included which reveals some of the MADDENING things about Winsock for those of us without a PHD in socket programming.
Unlike "demo" programs that are driving you crazy, this doesn't type "Hello!" back and forth to each screen! This program (stripped of its actual file processing) is an actual program used in e-commerce today.
Best regards,
Dave
