    Accept values from another VB program over LAN

    I have two PC's connected through LAN,the first PC has a program written in VB contains text

    boxes,these Text boxes has a periodically - updated values (like a program reads temperature

    every # seconds using external thermometer)

    the task is to write a VB program on the second PC accessing values in text boxes and display it

    on its screen by any way(label or textbox)

    i am very confused because i don't where to start this project,somebod y give me a brief describtion

    I think you need to use winsock control for this.

      There are lots of ways the programs can talk to each other (for instance, DDE seems to ring a bell, I think it allows you to address the individual controls). But not sure how to handle the network comms. Probably with Winsock, as already mentioned.
