ok so im trying to make a game i made multiplayer using winsocks, i have a couple of problems firstly for some reason my game is crashing when you start and i have no idea why. it seems to be jumping to the multiplayer form and trying to send stuff before it connects to the server to start the game even though i have it set to start with the menu form. second i want to know if im doing something wrong with the way i use them (im new at working with networks). The game is the attached file.
Suggest you use .zip rather than .rar for the attachment. Not everyone has the ability to process rar files.
thanks for the advise ive attached a .zip one to this post, for anyone who doesnt have one and needs one id suggest winrar (its free)
When trying to load the game I get the following errors:

One of your problems is that in Form frmWait you are referencing frmMultiPlayer which causes that form to be loaded and hence the Form_Load event will trigger. You could resolve that by moving the code from the Form_Load event into the Form_Activate event.
There are also some typos in the Server routine, you have 2 winsocks on the form, sock and sock2 but you are referencing sock1 in the code. I recommend you put 'Option Explicit' in the Declarations Section of all your Forms so that any undefined variables are reported to you when you compile.
I am also getting load errors when accessing some of the forms in the project.

The very first (and only) thing you do in frmMenu's Load event is 'frmWait.Show'
oh wow now i feel like an idiot, i cant believe i missed that. thanks guys for the help and everything's good code wise for multiplayer right? like the only problems now should be other things like firewalls and whatnot correct?Quote:

At the top of the Thread is an item named 'Thread Tools' drop that down and select 'Mark Thread Resolved'
