You must declare an object to open a URL, then through it call the send URL

Hi,

A URL is a web link (e.g., http://server/path/page?var=value). I'm not an expert in Visual Basic, but I posted a quick example of how I believe you issue a URL request from VB in the following thread:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/5042.html

Information on NowSMS URL formats can be found at the following links:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/sendin g_text_messages.htm
http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/url_pa rameters_for_sending_messages.htm
http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages_URL.htm

Note that if you want to send an MMS message via a simple HTTP GET URL, as described at the bottom of the last link above, then your pieces of content for the MMS message must reside on a web server so that NowSMS can reference them via HTTP.

Word of warning ... before you get to into the VB side of things, verify that you can send messages via the web interface of NowSMS first, and that things are configured correctly. If NowSMS can't send a message from its web interface, it won't be able to when your application submits via VB.
