Well, 64k may be the max size of a udp packet, but not all stacks will handle it properly. Generally, because it would have to be fragmented at the 1500 byte size you probably don't want to send a 64k object over udp. I'd use tcp instead if you needed to do that, or instead have a multi-object method of downloading that size of a data set (eg a row of data X in size, and Y rows where X*Y is roughly what you want data size wise). -- Wes Hardaker Sparta ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
