Thanks Huns,
but I want to test my server program.I want to know how many clients can 
connect to server at the same time.

I can use ShellExecute but
1-) I dont know how I pass parameters to my client.Because every client 
instance must connect to server a seperate user.
2-)if i create about 1000 client using ShellExecute my computer can do it?
I think i ust do it with threads;

My Problem while using thread is that:
1-)I create TClientSocket in Thread::Execute like this
TClientSocket *socket;
socket=new TClientSocket(MainForm);
socket->ClientType=ctNonBlocking;
socket->Name="socket"+StrToInt(MainForm-ThreadTimer->Tag);
socket->Address ="212.456.45.34";
socket->Port=2255;

socket->OnConnect=ChSocket->OnConnect;
socket->OnConnecting=ChSocket->OnConnecting;
socket->OnLookup=ChSocket->OnLookup;
socket->OnRead=ChSocket->OnRead;
socket->OnWrite=ChSocket->OnWrite;
socket->OnError=ChSocket->OnError;
socket->OnDisconnect=ChSocket->OnDisconnect;
socket->Open();


but i cant connect to server if i can do it in thread..

out of thread my code work fine but i cant create several client.
thanks
