Good Morning Tracey: Thanks for your input! I found the issue and I would have never thought this to be true. I opened the Windows 7 firewall and looked at the list of programs that are allowed and the programs that are blocked. I didn't see anything that was unusual. So I took another XP box and the Windows firewall in that box blocked the TCP connection from the VFP interface. The difference was that XP told me that VFP9.exe wanted a connection and what did I want to do Windows 7 was silent. So I unblocked it in XP and the program worked as expected. I then went to the Windows 7 x64 box and added VFP9.exe to the allowed programs and now it works as well. But Windows 7 never alerted me to the request that it was blocking. I am wondering if this is part of the 'user account control settings' in the Windows 7 box. I would have thought that the winsock.ocx would have been blocked not the VFP9 interface. So now that makes me think that when the program gets compiled and distributed that the .exe name will need to be unblocked as well. I guess it is a never ending process... Thanks again!

Guest talking to Server on Win7 machine works locally. If you have a security suite on the Win7 system, it might have its own firewall that is interfering.
