"Shell rundll32 rnaui.dll,RnaDial" opens two windows??

Two dialup windows open when I do the following:
Shell "rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & strConnectName

This causes a problem when using SendKeys "{ENTER}",1 to start the connection process.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this problem or how to force a connection without the users input.
(I do allow the user to choose the dialup connection they want, hence strConnectName)

Thanks

Try:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim X
'"ConnectionName" is the name under the icon in Dial-up Networking
X = Shell("rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & "ConnectionName", 1)
DoEvents
'You can type in your password before the { below.
SendKeys "{enter}", True
DoEvents
End Sub

---

Or this code is suppose to start a connection automatically:

Code:

---

Private Declare Function InternetAutodial Lib "wininet.dll" _
(ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long

Private Const INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_ONLINE = 1
Private Const INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_UNATTENDED = 2

Private Declare Function InternetAutodialHangup Lib "wininet.dll" _
(ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

'To prompt the user to connect to the Net

If InternetAutodial(INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_ONLINE, 0) Then
        MsgBox "You're Connected!", vbInformation
End If

'To automatically start dialling

If InternetAutodial(INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_UNATTENDED, 0) Then
        MsgBox "You're Connected!", vbInformation
End If

'To disconnect an automatically dialled connection

If InternetAutodialHangup(0) Then
  MsgBox "You're Disconnected!", vbInformation
End If

End Sub
