Well, DB isn't exactly the best program for the job. I'd suggest VB?

And if you are still using DB, there is no way I can help you without seeing your code.

The help file for old stone age VB 98 is better than the DB or DBPro help pages

I second this - I remember trying to write a chat app in DB (like most newcomers do) once I built it in DB my brother convinced me to build it in VB... Infinitely better
