Derek,

As Remy said, you've got a naming conflict. "Fdi" is not familiar. If 
you feel like it, send me the CPP and H files for your form and I'll 
take a look. I think the "ws" files are winsock headers, and I recall 
that I had some problems like that when I first tried to use Indy. I'll 
try to review what I did.
