WinInet and IE 7.

Subject:WinInet and IE 7.

My problem is that we have a VB6 application that connects to our FTP
server from our clients that downloads any new files for the client.
It uses the WinINet API calls to do the FTP connections and check the
files.  It has always worked fine until one client recently upgraded to
the IE 7.0 which now it fails in connecting.

It's failing in just the InternetOpen() call.  I'm calling it as:

InternetOpen("FTPUpdater" & vbNullChar, 0, vbNullString, vbNullString,
21)

This returns a Zero value for the Handle returned.

I'm looking for any help from anyone that may have experienced this
problem and what can be done to correct the problem.

Thanks,
Mike H.
