Hi Everyone,
I am working on another wonderful chunk of code that strives to age me well before my time. In short what I am trying to do is to create a simple Telnet interface that can be run purely in VBA without reference to external code libraries or OCX.
To kick this off I am using (or rather trying to) CSocketMaster. This is a wrapper around the API calls needed for networking that aims to replicate the Winsock control. I am going to categorically state here and now that I HATE Winsock and the fact that it has a memory leak, has to sit on a form,....... and so on. Hence the attempt at using CSocketMaster.
In earlier versions of Access (97-2003) I have had success with CSocketMaster but in A2010 on WIn7 64 bit it is just killing me! Async resolution of hostnames to IP addresses causes a crash each and every time, and there are a few others as well. 64Bit OS is definitely a different beast.
I was wondering if anyone might have the time to take a look at it and see if they can get it to work or at least suffer the same problems I am finding. An alternative approach would also be most welcome. The goal is two-fold: 1/ replace the winsock control, 2/ Telnet.
CSocketMaster can be found here:

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
