Okay well heres what I'm trying to accomplish, I have a wireless network connected to my modem and my home phone is also connected to my modem. I want to connect my computer to the home phone to access the caller id whenever there in an incoming call. Then I want to have a notification popup telling me there in an incoming call and the name and number. I was looking into doing this and I found out about TAPI but I'm not sure on how to use it. But I figured that was the best way to go since I didn't find anything else.

I did found one script in VB that only worked on my Vista 32bit desktop, but hey its something. I'm not to sure how to expand on it to do what I want but it had a positive result. I attached the ZIP file.

When I was looking I found that most articles were using C++ but some said it was possible in VB.NET and I'd rather use it because I'm better with it. If you got any ideas how to make this work then please help.

Thanks,
Daniel

As far as I can tell you download the activex control... you add it to your project.. gank some lines from that above and you are off and running.

Yeah thats the code I have. I did download and install it and I found this: http://www.smart-act.../caller-id.html. I tried using it but nothing seems to be working. Any idea?

Thanks,
Daniel

tusk tusk tusk. another one eh. dude copy paste in my experience never ended well. first you will spend a lot more time to get it working then to understand the code and write your own. then if you have to change something you will have to spend almost the same time as before to make it work again. try it and you will see that it is true.
