    does anyone have a program cooked up that will send information to someone else on the internet running the same program?
    or perhaps a program that will send a file that the other program will automatically accept...
    anyone?
    Generic vb 5

    Private Sub WakeMyAssUp( As Boolean)
    If Then : = False
    End Sub

    This assumes a TCP/IP network...

    The receiving program needs to be waiting for information on a specific port, and the sender needs to send it to the address of the receiving computer, on that same port.

    Unhappy Me very confused

    Sorry...I thought you were writing your own program. <bashes head repeatedly on table>

    NetMeeting does all this if you want a ready-made program.
