Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Jeff,

I Used these 3 API

URLDownloadToFile , InternetCheckConnection ,DeleteUrlCacheEntry

So VB Can Access method with '_' ?

I just Tried to open the dll with Object Browser and I am able to see all
the Method of my dll Except that Each Method start with '_' is Hidden?

thanks in advance.

I have created a DLL in VFP9 and I include _ in the beginning of the
Method name such as mydll.._MyMethod()

Why? What other API have you used that did this? Outside of a very few
things in the Windows API, I've never seen it, and as such would never
copy such a convention. Sometimes "following the crowd" is a good thing.
