    Project > Components > Microsoft Winsock (Mswinsck.ocx) Mswinsck.OCX, not winsock.DLL

    Should be in C:\Windows\System32\Mswinsck.ocx

    Go in to add a component, click browse and paste this in:

    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\Mswinsck.ocx
    And hit Open, it should load.. If not, report back.

    Re: Winsock Error "not registerable"

    when i click open it says 'File not found'
    i've tried to search my computer for a file called 'Mswinsck' but nothing turned up.
    can it be that it has a different name?
    im using windows xp sp2
    thanks for helping

    google it for download, it should have been installed with vb

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
