Tim, Thanks for the offer. I've been looking through the PB forums and it seems there is some API stuff to detect a connection without opening it, so I may give that a go. Questions are one of the reasons I posted, but I don't really want to go down the SQL road. I would like to use it for other things as well, and they won't always be suitable to be a db. I could live with FTP.
I see AlienCodec has a patching program out, but it looks like a slightly clunky approach, and with the number of people posting that their support requests are being ignored, I reckon I'll give that a miss.
I've looked around for any file transfer libraries too, but the only one I found so far is an ActiveX DLL, so no good for BMax. Perhaps I'll look into writing a PB DLL to do it for me. I guess PB supports threads, so that would be ok.
