you should be able to just send the array through, like

VB Code:
  1. dim arr(2) as string

  2.  
  3. arr(0) = "hi"

  4. arr(1)="hello"

  5. arr(2)="bye"

  6.  
  7. winsock1.senddata arr

and in the recieve part,
VB Code:
  1. dim arr() as string

  2.  
  3. winsock1.getdata arr,vbarray

of course I could be wrong.
