App to app communication over the network...

Hi.

I have a VB6 app on one machine (running XP Pro) and another VB6 app on a server PC (running Windows 2000 AS).

I need to send a message from the application from the calling machine to the application on the server.

The message will be a string/text.

I cannot make use of a database or file.

The network is a LAN.

Can anyone offer any help or advice.

Many thanks,
Darren

supposing you have access to the source code of the apps on both ends, what you need is to create a socket, select a specific port then AppA connects to AppB on port B and send the message, while AppB is configured to receive on port B incoming connections.

It's kind of easy if you need to send short messages.
