Hi:

Can the error code returned by WSAGetLastError() be used in
FormatMessage(...) to get a text description of the error ?

Thanks in Advance !

Yes, but don't forget to call WSAStartup at the beginning of your code (and check that it succeeds) or you'll just be getting
rubbish back from WSAGetLastError()
