Hi

I'm trying to build a solution in excel that will enable 2 excel workbooks on 2 different computer to chat with each other. I have download this solution from a blogg and it needs winsck.ock (WinsockLib) to be chosen under Tool/References.

Unfortunately, I get an error when trying to call and create a TCP server.

Does anyone know if Winsock is needing any other settings? It's active in VBA Editor, since I get selections after writing the . in New MSWinsockLib

The program stops in this line

Code:
 Set tcpServer = New MSWinsockLib.Winsock

Code:
Private Sub cmdBeginListen_Click()
    isConnect = Not isConnect
    
    If isConnect Then
        
        Set tcpServer = New MSWinsockLib.Winsock
        tcpServer.LocalPort = 1200
        
        tcpServer.Listen
        
        cmdBeginListen.Caption = "Server Listening..."
        cmdBeginListen.BackColor = COLOR.COLOR_IS_GREEN
    
        Me.Caption = "Main - <ip>" & tcpServer.LocalIP & ":
" & tcpServer.LocalPort
    Else
        tcpServer.Close
        Set tcpServer = Nothing
        
        Dim frm As Object
        For Each frm In UserForms
            If UCase(TypeName(frm)) = "FRMSERVER" Then Unload frm
        Next
      
        cmdBeginListen.Caption = "Begin Listen"
        cmdBeginListen.BackColor = COLOR.COLOR_IS_RED
    
        Me.Caption = "Main"
    End If
End Sub
</ip>
