Hay Bob, thanks for the pointers.

1) I might not report load library failure but i test for it...  This is 
just work in progress code...

2) LoadLibrary works fine, the dll is being loaded - GetProcAddress seems to 
be failing to locate or load the functions.

3) As for :

szWINetPath.SetLength(MAX_PATH+1);
szWINetPath.SetLength(GetSystemDirectory(szWINetPath.c_str(), 
szWINetPath.Length()));

- I've used this 1000's of times without issue.  GetSystemDirectory returns 
the size of the returned string so it's perfect for setting the ansistring 
length when returned.

4)   >>BTW#2: AnsiString isn't an sz. Probably an 'as' or plain 's'.  - 
Point of conjections - old habits die hard - i'll always get pulled up about 
this - can't make my fingers type different.

5) >> Proper use of flow control will eliminated those extra if()s at the 
end... -  Work in progress - code isn't working yet so i'm not going to 
worry to much about slickness at this point.

Thanks again - any ideas why GetProc is failing???
