Hi all,
I'm trying to write a VB application that will initiate a remote connection by waiting for a caller...

from the pcanywhere help files:
"To wait for a connection from the a computer

Generally, the remote computer initiates a connection to the host and then takes control. However, for security reasons, the host computer may be configured to allow a remote connection only if the host initiates the connection. If so, you must set up your computer to wait for a call from the host. In effect, the remote computer resembles host behavior in that it waits for a connection. However, unlike a typical host session, after the connection is established, the remote computer controls the activities on the host.

To wait for a call from the host

1 In the pcAnywhere Manager window, click Remotes.
2 Right-click the remote control connection item that you want to use, then click Wait For Connection.

When your computer accepts the connection from the host computer, the remote desktop appears on your computer screen, which displays the host computer screen and the pcAnywhere online toolbar. "

Anybody know how to do this through code in VB?

Thanks.

-Matt
