Thanks in advance [edited by - fma on June 7, 2002 4:41:27 PM] [edited by - fma on June 7, 2002 4:42:26 PM]

The VB Winsock OCX breaks up large packets into 8KB chunks.

Output the size of the data being recieved to verify it''s the same as the file that was sent.

Instead of writing to a file, setup a multi-line text box and append the data you recieve to it.

The first rule of effective debugging is to output relivent variables to either a log file or the screen.
