    i'm thinking of starting a vb project that connects to a computer and takes a screenshot of the desktop using an API call. can this be done with winsock or the inet control?

    You can do it with the Winsock control. You'd have to have a program running on every computer waiting for a request on a certain port (choose something <1024 to protect against firewalls blocking it). Then the client program just connects to it and sends the request .
