hi:
you can use the control "winsock"
example:
formA:
Private Sub Form_Load()
' The control's name is udpPeerA
With udpPeerA
' IMPORTANT: be sure to change the RemoteHost
' value to the name of your computer.
.RemoteHost = "***.***.***.***"
.RemotePort = 1003 ' Port to connect to.
.Bind 1005 ' Bind to the local port.
End With
End Sub

Private Sub txtSend_Change()
' Send text as soon as it's typed.
udpPeerA.SendData txtSend.Text
End Sub

Private Sub udpPeerA_DataArrival _
(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim strData As String
udpPeerA.GetData strData
txtOutput.Text = strData
End Sub

formB:
Private Sub Form_Load()
' The control's name is udpPeerB
With udpPeerB
' IMPORTANT: be sure to change the RemoteHost
' value to the name of your computer.
.RemoteHost = "***.***.***.***"
.RemotePort = 1003 ' Port to connect to.
.Bind 1005 ' Bind to the local port.
End With
End Sub

Private Sub txtSend_Change()
' Send text as soon as it's typed.
udpPeerB.SendData txtSend.Text
End Sub

Private Sub udpPeerB_DataArrival _
(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim strData As String
udpPeerB.GetData strData
txtOutput.Text = strData
End Sub

when your application receives the data which the other application sends, you can turn the data into
commands.
