Check online network availability
Hi Friends
I want to establish, if the user is on-line with the network fileserver. Scroll drives or using FileExist method (File Scripting object) wont do the trick, because the path will often, but not always, be available offline. I've got to know if they are connected - any idea's? Thanks/Mike |

Try:
Private Declare Function IsNetworkAlive Lib "SENSAPI.DLL" (ByRef lpdwFlags As Long) As Long Sub xx() Select Case IsNetworkAlive(0) Case 0 MsgBox "not connected" Case 1 MsgBox "connected to LAN" Case 2 MsgBox "connected to WAN" Case Else MsgBox "connected to ?other network?" endselect End Sub You probably want to verify whether IsNetWorkAlive returns 0 or nonzero only.
