I use dial-up and so need to click the connection icon to connect. Is there any way i can get vb to start that icon as such?

Yeah, use the shell command to run the application that the icon points to. syntax is:

shell(Your connection app name, Window style)

window style is minimised, maximised, etc.

Hope this helps

cheers :)

You can't use the Shell command as a connection is not an executable file. In addition, you never know what the connection is called on the end-user's computer. Only Internet Explorer does, and the link I gave you does everything you want to do, using IE.

P.S. Some advice: don't worry about IE not being installed. :cool:
