Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to see if someone has connection to the
internet
on startup of the application.

Now I download a small file and if it succeeds, I know the user has
connection, but it seems to be a little slow. Is there a command like:

if (InternetConnection) then
msgbox "The user is connected to the internet", vbOKOnly
else
msgbox "The user is not connected to the internet", vbOKOnly
end if

Thanks
