For some reason whenever I request another users profile, it sets my profile to theirs. I'm not exactly sure why either, here's my code.

Request Profile Menu:
[code]
Private Sub mnuGetProfile_Click()
frmProfile.txtName.text = frmMain.lvChannel.SelectedItem.text
RequestProfile (lvChannel.SelectedItem.text)
End Sub
[/code]

RequestProfile()
[code]
Public Function RequestProfile(strUser As String)
With pbuffer
.InsertDWORD 1
.InsertDWORD 4
.InsertDWORD &H26
.InsertNTString strUser
.InsertNTString "Profile\Sex"
.InsertNTString "Profile\Age"
.InsertNTString "Profile\Location"
.InsertNTString "Profile\Description"
.sendPacket &H26
End With
End Function[/code]

Now when I actually WANT to save my profile I have this:

On frmProfile:
[code]
Public Sub cmdSave_Click()
OtherCode.SetProfile (txtName.text)
Unload Me
End Sub[/code]

SetProflie()
[code]
Public Sub SetProfile(ByVal username As String)
With pbuffer
.InsertDWORD 1
.InsertDWORD 4
.InsertNTString username
.InsertNTString "profile\sex"
.InsertNTString "profile\age"
.InsertNTString "profile\location"
.InsertNTString "profile\description"
.InsertNTString frmProfile.txtSex.text 'Sex
.InsertNTString frmProfile.txtAge.text 'Age
.InsertNTString frmProfile.txtLocation.text 'Location
.InsertNTString frmProfile.rtbDescription.text 'Description
.sendPacket &H27
End With
End Sub
[/code]

Any Suggestions?

I don't see anything wrong with your code to cause what you describe, but I do see some minor inconsistencies relative to the real clients. In particular, they do not capitalize any letters in the profile key names. Also, the clients request 5 keys, not 4. The first four keys are as you requested (though lowercase); the fifth one is an empty string. Its purpose is unknown, but for maximum compatibility, you should request it too.

Only thing I can see that might be a problem might be that you used StrUser. I think if you also named that as your name to login to bnet that might cause a problem. (I am just saying this b/c you said it always sends your profile)

Nope, by name to login isn't strUser, it's varUser. Thanks Kp, I made all uppercase letters lowercase and added the extra key. As far as I can tell, it works.

eh, nevermind..still gives same error. :(

Edit: Oddly enough, it's working again...except now it won't set the profile when I need it to.

Edit #2: OK, I must have written self-tampering code, since it is doing the orgin error again. I have no clue why it's fixing/breaking itself though.

Yes, was rather surprised to see you say it was working. The changes I suggested have nothing to do with solving the immediate problem, only with making your client more realistic to the server. :P Perhaps you should put a msgbox or an AddChat in the subroutine(s) which send out the set-profile command, so you can see what's causing them to be triggered? (Or if you're comfortable with a debugger, put a breakpoint on those routines and view the call stack. If you don't understand that last sentence, you aren't comfortable with a debugger. :))

Kp: Not sure if you read after my second edit. Anyway, so my code is all correct and you don't know why it would be giving this error?

I had not seen those edits until I returned just now. I do not write VB code (and therefore read it only moderately well), so I won't say with total certainty your code is flawless, especially since I haven't seen all of it. As I said in my prior post, you should try adding print messages in the various subroutines to locate what's causing the call that sets the profile.

OK, I'm really suprised/embarrased I didn't see this earlier. On frmProfile, in Form_Unload I called cmdSave. I thought that it woudln't do anything unless you're on that name so I added it as a convience thing since I'd rather click the x than save. After I removed that..it worked. Thanks for helping me make it more client-like and stuff.
