chat program that will update and display a html file located on my domian's server..

[Daniel_Christie]

I want to code using my, VB5 Enterprise edition, and make a chat program that will update and display a html file located on my domian's server.

Does anyone have any source for this or atleast lead me in the right directions?
(I haven't any knowlege with this but I learn fast and I am very, very eager.)

Well what you would have to do is download the html file, edit it and upload it back to the webserver. Here is what it should look like:

With Inet1
.Cancel
.Protocol = icFTP
.url = "123.123.123.123" 'ftp ip
.UserName = "me" 'username
.Password = "xxxx" 'password
End With
'load the specifi page to the textbox/edit it
Text1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html", icString)
Open "C:\htmldoc.html" For OutPut AS #1
Print #1, Text1.Text
Close #1
'upload a file
Inet1.Execute , "PUT C:\htmldoc.html.txt htmldoc.html"
Inet1.Close

Is this a fairly slow process? (granted there are connection variables) but the general process, would you say it is a extremely slow process?

Well yeah it could take some time...the proximate time would depend on the server connectio and size of the html file. But other than that it should be fine.
