Dial-Up Networking

[esierp]

Is there anyway to programmatically execute a Dial-up Networking connection? I have tried creating a shortcut to the connection and then using ShellExecute on the .lnk file for the shortcut. This works for shorcuts to programs, but not for a shortcut to a dial-up connection. If it is not possible in VB, would it be possible in VC++?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Eric,
API calls to RAS will provide you with the
ability to perform a VB execution of a dial-up
connection.

Check out http://www.codearchive.com/, select
The Visual Basic Code Archive (click GO), then
select the "Internet Related", there are various
VB coding examples on how to create a dial-up
connection.

Hope this helps!

Rgrds,

Bill.
