Eric, see my reply to the previous question; try allocating a static block and passing the pointer to the block by reference - structures don't like to be moved about.

>The error returned is 12018: "The supplied handle is the wrong type for the requested operation". The handle being returned by InternetOpen, and passed to InternetSetOption consistently looks like: 13369352. Declaring the hInternet parameter as LONG or INTEGER makes no difference.
