Hi jaasaria,

That error is usually because the connection is not active when you're trying to send the data through.

Best thing to do is to check the Winsock connection is active before sending.

If sockMain.State = sckConnected Then
    sockMain.SendData txtMessage.Text
Else
    MsgBox "Connection Not Active!", vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Error In Connection"
End If
    
End Sub

This code will check the Winsock control is connected, and send the message if it is. If the connection is not active, it will pop up an error message.

For info, my Winsock control on the form is named sockMain.

Thanks,
Jon
