I just posted a question on this about 1 hour ago, I thought I had the problem solved. ANyways I don't here is my problem, If someone could help me, it would be much appreciated.

I have added Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0
i added the control. The protocol is set to icFTP.


I added the following code to a form with a textbox and a button

--------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim tstr As Variant

Inet1.Protocol = icFTP
tstr = Inet1.OpenURL("ftp://ftp.cdrom.com")
text1.Text = tstr

End Sub
----------------------------------------

for the strangest reason it will not connect. I have tried about 10 different addresses, I also tried other ftp clients and they all connect, so it's not their server. I tried it on 2 other machines, I also redid the code on another machine just to check if my VB install was corrupted. I just can't figure out why it won't connect. any advice

Sorry, but it worked OK on my PC
so did this...

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Inet1.URL = "FTP://ftp.cdrom.com"

Text1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL
End Sub

Make sense out of this. Chris Carterson gave me this code.

For Each ctl In Me.Controls

If InStr(LCase$(ctl.Name), "timeout") = 0 Then
If Trim$(ctl.Text) = "" Then
MsgBox "Timeout is the only optional field. Please make sure all other fields are complete and try again.", vbExclamation, "Required field not filled in"
IsInputValid = False
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If
Next
' if you got this far all required fields are filled
IsInputValid = True
End Function

Let me ask just one question, do you have any kinda firewall, proxy server or anything like that running?? on your computer or on the ISP computer?
