Checking for connection to internet.

[Fuga]

Hi,

Is there a way to use VBA to check what connection you are currently using?

Based on this informationk, I´d like to change the profile in Ms Outlook (see my other post today) so that if you´re on a modem, the emails would come from "modem@sweden.se" and if you´re on DSL, it would be "DSL@sweden.se".

If I need to do API, I must warn you that I´m not very good at it.

I have done some VBA automating in Ms Outlook, however I can´t find what I´m looking for in the help file.

Thanks.

Fuga.

I found some Visual Basic code @ http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html.

Search that site for the key words "active internet connection".

You will be interested in the "InternetGetConnectedState: Determine Network Connection Type" code.

Sorry for not posting the code but it is against that sites rules to post their code.
