SP2 Dial-Up

Man, I feel bad for you

Anyway, is their an icon for the connection quality?

if so use

Pixelsearch(1060,994,1279,1023, "*Your icon's Color*")

If not, tell how you know whenther or not it exists manually

and try to find a way to automate that manual work

Paulie,

I'm creating a script that installs a new Dial-Up connection...yes, I know, "Dial-Up" Yuck...for my orgainization (they want no end-user interaction during the install). But I need to make sure the current Dial-Up connection is deleted first, so I don't get the following error message: "Connection with specified name already exists. please provide a unique connection name".

I know it exists because it is standard on every image which is located under the "Network Connections" icon...see screen shot below.

YES, I know a different name would do the trick, but I also want to make sure the "connection" is deleted in case the end-user runs the script more than once.

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Ok, try to do somting with

WinGetText("Network Connections", "Dial Up")

That should help you find if it exists

But to delete it, can you just delete it right there?(Im not sure i never mess with my connection, its nstable as it is)

I dunno, bt im outta cmputer time, its work time so i'll get back to you on this

Run this one line of code:

Run("RASPHONE /?")

and notice the "-r" option.

You might also consider using "RASPHONE -a" to start the Wizard that you were using in your other thread.

Here is a site that talks a bit about RASDIAL and RASPHONE:
