Hello Michael, You dont need to replicate it. Just leave the Socket where it is. In your second form you can have a socket that points to the other socket. Dont drop one on the second form, but just (I called the socket Cli):
SecondForm.Cli := MainForm.Cli; and then you call all in the Cli of the second form witch points to the Cli of the mail form. An object variable is just a pointer to the actual object, so you can as many pointers to the same object as you wants. --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Saturday, January 7, 2006, 00:58, Michael Preslar wrote: > I have my main form which has a TWSocket..
