Hi...

I'm having trouble with winsock and VB5.
The clients I create seem to hang VB5 when i stop them... either with a stop from the VB5 development program or from a button on the form. CTRL break will pause, but stop just hangs VB and need to close down.
Im running XP
I have service pack three on VB
I'm closing the socket etc
any ideas?????????????/
cheers

I know this sounds obvious but...double-check to ensure that your socket is actually closed by looking at Winsock.state.

It sounds like an implementation error that your program is bypassing the close socket code when you stop.  A quick way to check would be to add a msgbox call to your form.unload event that displays the current status of the winsock control.
