Is there a way in Access/VBA to check to see if the modem has successfully connected to an external system prior to running other code? I need to dial up to a remote system (AS/400) and FTP data. I have code in place that will launch the dial up program and initiate the dial up process. I need to be able to verify that the connection has been established before starting the FTP, and skip the FTP if the connection has not been established. If anyone can help me with this, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

It is going to be some kind of API function which you need to call in order to ascertain whether or not a connection has been established, but i am afraid i do not know which one it would be, after all there are thousands of them!!!
