Use the CreateQuery property to prepare a query to be sent to a server. The Strategy property defines the strategies used when queried the server for an expression. The Strategy property is identical with the Strategy parameter of the CreateQuery method. 

The following sample queries the "dict.org" server for all definitions for "hot" expression. ( The sample uses the "exact" strategy, but asks all available dictionaries ):

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim c As EXDICTCLIENTLibCtl.Connection
    Set c = Client1.OpenConnection("dict.org")
    If Not (c Is Nothing) Then
        With c.CreateQuery("hot", , c.Strategies("exact"))
            Dim r As EXDICTCLIENTLibCtl.IResult
            For Each r In .Execute
                Dim d As EXDICTCLIENTLibCtl.IDefinition
                For Each d In r.Definitions
                    Debug.Print d.Body
                Next
            Next
        End With
        c.Close
    End If
    Set c = Nothing
End Sub
