Hi Steve,

You posted the following a few weeks ago - would it also check if the user is hooked to the web with a DialUp connection?

>For a user with a LAN connection to the internet, pinging is the most reliable method. If you are concerned that an internet server may be down, then check a different server if the first one returns false.

Here is a function you can use

function checkInternetConnection
lparameters lcWebAddress

	Declare Integer InternetCheckConnection in Wininet.dll String Url, Long dwFlags, Long Reserved

	If InternetCheckConnection(lcWebAddress, 1, 0) != 0
		return .t.
	Else
		return .f.
	EndIf
endproc

Example usage:


? checkInternetConnection("http://www.microsoft.com")<
