IF Report = 0 THEN
...
NetCloseRemoteAccess()

END
// Open the connection on a Smartphone
sConnectionName is string
nCntReturn is int
// The name of the connection is given by the provider
sConnectionName = "Bouygues Internet"
// Open the connection
nCntReturn = NetOpenRemoteAccess(sConnectionName)
IF nCntReturn = 0 THEN

Syntax
<Result> = NetOpenRemoteAccess(<Access name> [, <Password>] [, <Automatic closing>])
<Result>: Integer - 0 if the connection was established,
- an error code otherwise. This error code can be used with NetMsgError to get the error details and the corresponding message.
<Access name>: Character string Name of the "Remote network access" connection defined in Windows. The list of remote accesses installed on a computer is returned by NetListRemoteAccess.
If the connection is already enabled (if it was opened manually or by another application), it is automatically retrieved. <Password>: Optional character string Password associated with the connection. <Automatic closing>: Optional boolean - True (default value): the connection will be automatically closed at the end of application or during the call to NetCloseRemoteAccess without parameter (valid for the last connection opened by NetOpenRemoteAccess).
- False: the connection is not closed when the application is closed. Used, for example, to create an application that opens a connection. Similarly, NetCloseRemoteAccess without parameter will not close the connection. To close this connection, the access name must be passed as parameter.
Remarks Connection for the remote network access A connection for remote network access is created in the Windows control panel. The following information is required to create the connection: - the caption of the connection (used by NetOpenRemoteAccess),
- the phone number to dial,
- the username,
- the modem, the protocol, etc.
This information is supplied by the provider. When the connection is run via a double click performed on the corresponding icon, you have the ability to specify a password for this connection. This password can be stored in order to be used whenever this connection is started. Miscellaneous - Caution: The connection to a remote network can take quite a long time. The execution of the current application is locked during the entire duration of the connection.
- A single connection can be opened at a given time.
- We recommend that you check whether the connection operates properly in Windows before running NetOpenRemoteAccess.
