Polling a server from a desktop application (VB6)

Hi

 

Not sure if anyone can help me here - probably better off asking on a VB forum.

 

I have a desktop database application written in Visual Basic 6. As records are added to the local VB6 database, copies are POSTed to my PHP application. Users can add records to the PHP application on-line, and these record(s) a transferred down to the desktop system for inclusion into the VB6 database - all works fine (100 way to skin a cat I suppose).

 

I was wondering, what the best way of polling the server to see if there are any records waiting to be downloaded?

 

I am currently using an HTTP POST and checking the response

 

Thanks...
