1. Did you call AfxSocketInit in your thread? You probably did since the socket connection is OK. 2. Does your thread have a message pump? The OnReceive event depends on windows messages. If your thread does not have a message pump, then the event will never be fired. The simplest way to add a message pump is create a modal dialog (hide it if you wish) from the thread after the socket connection. ::MessageBox(NULL, _T("I am a message pump for the socket"), NULL, MB_OK); Good luck.[ My articles and software tools ](http://hometown.aol.com/XiangYangL/)

Did you try to set the cursor AFTER the call to the base class? Who is 'General Failure'? And why is he reading my harddisk?!?

struct elements are aligned to boundaries (particularly word boundaries) to improve performance. Use #pragma pack(push,1) and #pragma pack(pop) to align a struct on byte boundaries: #pragma pack(push,1) struct A { short b; char c; }a; #pragma pack(pop) - Mike

When your program stops, use keypress 'Alt + 7' to bring up the call stack. It will list all the function calls made up to the point of the error. Just go back in the list until you get to your own code.
