Hi Wayne,
What's the WIndows and IE version? TaskPane uses InternetGetConnectedState function in WIninet.dll to determine if you've internet connection. It sound like you've old/bad version of WIninet.dll on your PC.
>Just recently in the release version of VFP8 I am receiving the following error when starting the Task Pane -"Cannot find entry point InternetGetConnectedState in the dll".
>
>I've tried disabling connecting to the internet but still receive the error. Shutdown ZoneAlarm in the event it was blocking it but no avail. Did a "repair" reinstall but still receive the same error.
>
>Anyone have any ideas?
>
>Thanks,
>
