Problems with InternetGetConnectedState

[gvt]

Hi,<br><br>I have found a couple of examples on the web on how to check if a computer is connected to Internet or not. These examples use the API function InternetGetConnectedState. When I compile and run them on my computer, the following message is returned:<br>&nbsp;&quot;Run-time error '453': Can't find entry point InternetGetConnectedStateExA in wininet.dll&quot;<br>&nbsp;Do you have any idea what is wrong with my wininet.dll? (I am using Windows 95 and Visual Basic 5).<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Would appreciate it if anyone could help. Thanks.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vio<br>

I had that problem if I did not type in the name of the function EXACTLY as it appeared in the Declare statement - which means there is some case sensitivity I guess.

gvt:<br><br>This function was added recently to the WinInet.dll.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it appeared in MSIE 4.01, but I'm not sure.&nbsp;&nbsp;In any case, you are not guaranteed for this function to be available on every version of Windows and Internet Explorer.<br><br>Chip H.<br>
