Hi Could somebody give me an example of how to create a directplay8 group in vb. What I cant quite understand is does directplay give me the GroupID or can I supply it. What I want to do is to have a number of directplay groups related to map locations. So ideally I can create a group referenced to that location. Thanks

Ah well since you put it like that..

Thanks

I dont know about other people, but I sometimes struggle with the VB samples that Microsoft uses. Its like they always treat VB as an afterthought.
