Send/Recv problem...

[Zero99]

ok im not sure if its the send() function im doing wrong or the Recv() function... here's my code

-------------------CLIENT SIDE----------------------------
... << Pressing the key F3 to send data in WinMain() code >> ...

int rVal; <- defined at top of program
char buffer[18]; <- also defined at top of program

ZeroMemory(buffer, 18);
strcpy(buffer, "65755556566666666");      <- the data im sending..numbers
rVal = send(theSocket, buffer, strlen(buffer), 0);
rVal = WSAGetLastError();
if (rVal == SOCKET_ERROR) {
         sError("SEND()");
         return NETWORK_ERROR;
}

^^ the above all goes well, no errors ^^
-----------------------SERVER SIDE-----------------------------
// in my server it accepts the connection from b4 and switches to a new socket that will be able to use FD_READ | FD_CLOSE, this is the process:
WSAAsyncSelect(s, hWnd, WM_USER + 1, FD_ACCEPT);

//goes over to my WndProc()    switch(Msg):
...
case WM_USER + 1:
            HandleAccept(wParam, lParam); <- handles the connection request
            break;
...

int HandleAccept(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	SOCKET sock = (SOCKET)wParam;
	WORD event = LOWORD(lParam);
	WORD error = HIWORD(lParam);
	
	if(event == FD_ACCEPT)
	{
		sockaddr_in NewRemoteSin;
		newsock = accept(sock, (sockaddr*)&NewRemoteSin, NULL);
		WSAAsyncSelect(newsock, hWnd, WM_USER + 2, FD_READ | FD_CLOSE);
		
		
	}
	return TRUE;
}

// ^^^ my new socket that is going to read data being sent is now called "newsock", the WSAAsyncSelect() is now set to FD_READ | CLOSE

<< blah blah i send the data (the numbers when i press F1 on the client side) >>

<< My WndProc() once again >>>
...
case WM_USER + 2:
		HandleData(wParam, lParam);
		break;
...

<< Now it calls HandleData as above... >>
<< So now we have HandleData>>


int HandleData(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	SOCKET sock = (SOCKET)wParam;
	WORD event = LOWORD(lParam);
	WORD error = HIWORD(lParam);
	if(event == FD_CLOSE)
	{
		closesocket(sock);
	}
	else if(event == FD_READ)
	{
		
		ZeroMemory(buf, 18);
                                recv(sock, buf, 18, 0);
		MessageBox(hWnd, buf, "Received Data!", MB_OK);

		//closesocket(s);
	}
	return TRUE;
}

i think i went into a little too much detail...but i did not know how to explain it, but the problem is that the MessageBox() in the HandleData() function never appears...i have spent like 3 hours, moving things around checking for errors, the only thing i came across was when i put the error check above the line closesocket(sock) in the HandleData() function, it says that the client side has closed... it never goes to the FD_READ case. I have no clue what is wrong. thx in advance
