Currently I'm developing a real-time stock market price list grabber in classic vb6 which will connect to the internet if there is no active internet connection. for internet connection process I used the code below using rasapi32.dll, But unfortunately it always returns ERROR CODE :- 621, The phone-book cannot be opened.
THE CODE IS
'This program let you dial to your dial-up connections using whether
'the stored user name and password or the ones you specifies
'(It use RasDial for dialing)
'You need a form with a list,2 textbox and a command button
