It seems more than anything that you're confused about what he's doing.

Code:

strPost = "blah" & strUsername & "blah"

All he is doing is instead of writing it on one line, spans it over multiple lines.

Code:

strPost = "blah" & _
strUsername & _
"blah"

There is nothing wrong with that, and it isn't more complicated.

It seem's more complicated than the way I coded it... Is all I am saying...

I see what he is doing perfectly fine... I just would do it like:

Code:

                StrHTML = Wrapper.GetWrapper("http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/privmsg.php?mode=post")

                StrHTML = Wrapper.PostWrapper("http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/privmsg.php", "username=" & lstaccounts.Items.Item(IntAcct) & "&subject=" & txtSubject.Text & "&message=" & txtMessage.Text & "&folder=inbox&mode=post&btn_send=true")

                If (InStr(1, StrHTML, "Your Private Message has been sent to: ")) Then
                    MsgBox("Message sent to : " & lstaccounts.SelectedItem)
                Else
                    MsgBox("Failed to send message...")
                End If

Simple, yet gets the job done... (From v1 of my pmer...)

Yes it is a personal preference, I understand that it may seem less complicated to you than to me, or vice a versa... I am simply expressing my opinion on the topic...
