Visual Basic WInsock Api..... "recv" is receiving zero bytes and zero data from my server..... the send works good!

IN a Visual Basic 6.0, Winsock API I was able to connect and send data to the server...... But my "recv" statement is getting zero data back from the server and zero bytes back! I was able to talk the server analyst and he verified that he was getting my request in and sending back data. But my "recv" couldn't see the data sent back! Any ideas? I verified the arguments in the "recv" and the data types.

Thanks

  Dim nFlags As Long
  Dim getData As String
  Dim ictr As Long
  ' s is an integer set with proper socket id
  nFlags = 0
 
  dwBytes = recv(s, ByVal getData, Len(getData), nFlags)

By the way how r u passing ur data? is it just a string message or from some kind of database??? it really matters how u r passing over/getting back. In some cases, it might NOT be the same.. Be specific a bit. maybe i could help u..

Thank you for your interest. I found that my recv buf area was defined correctly. I needed to give it a large allotment. Rick
