thanks Arnon,
i found the docs on those 2 calls and they look like they will do what i need, however, i'm not sure
i know how to pass in the structures as parameters

the docs list the following prototype for RasEnumConnections :
DWORD RasEnumConnections(

LPRASCONN lprasconn, // buffer to receive connections data
LPDWORD lpcb, // size in bytes of buffer
LPDWORD lpcConnections // number of connections written to buffer
);

Any clue how i would prototype that with the vfp DECLARE DLL IN WIN32 command?

thanks
