    VBA - API calls for FTP

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm having an issue with the FtpFindFirstFile API call.

    Here's a section of code:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    InternetOpen, InternetConnect are returning valid handles, and FtpSetCurrentDirectory returns True. However, hFind returns 0, and a look at the LastDllError shows an error value of 12002 (which is a Timeout error).

    Environment: Windows7, Excel 2003, VB 6.5 on a local network.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    How have you declared pData and have you assigned a string buffer to its Filename?
