Here is what I am using: Private Sub IQFeed_SystemMessage(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal e As AxIQFEEDYLib._DIQFeedYEvents_SystemMessageEvent) Handles IQFeed.SystemMessage Debug.WriteLine("SystemMessage" + e.strSystemData) Select Case True Case InStr(e.strSystemData, "S,SERVER CONNECTED") ServerPanel1.state = ServerPanel.ServerPanelStates.connectedToIQFeed End Select End Sub Out of more than 10 launches, it worked twice. take care, lee

When you say that it only worked 2 out of 10 launches. Are you saying that in the other 8 launches, that this message was never delivered to your app?
