I've tried NULL, 0's, and clicking my heels three times. NULL gives me Data Type mismatch (no huge suprise there). Any suggestions < ducks blow from Mr. Rauh> gratefully received.

Nancy,

Alan's correct about the declaration, but in order to pass a null pointer, you have to indicate that the lpDevice parameter is passed by reference
DECLARE INTEGER WNetRestoreConnectionW IN Win32API  ;
	INTEGER hwndParent, STRING @lpDevice
Pass zero as the pointer to the device.
