Using the windows 2000 dial-up connection service

[HoffaFocus]

Is there a way of using the windows 2000 dial-up connection service from a foxpro program and without getting prompted by the dial-up service. The idea is to configure the dial-up service by defining a connection with name, telephone number, user name and pass word and thereafter call the dial-up connection name from a foxpro program, get connected to the remote computer without any dialogs from the windows dial-up service.

Hi Hoffafocus,

You'll need to read up on the WinInet API or RAS API. WinInet is a high-level interface for RAS. The following article is a good starting point:

Dialing Up the Internet with RAS

Also, take a look at wwIPStuff at

http://www.west-wind.com.

IIRC, it's simply a wrapper for the WinInet API. Jon Hawkins
