VBA 6.5, Windows 2000 and Windows API

 VBA 6.5, Windows 2000 and Windows API

   Does anyone know if VBA 6.5 still supports Windows 2000?   I cannot
find this on Microsoft's web site or with Google.

   Also, I am using the Windows API in VBA to download web pages.  Do
you know if there were any changes since Windows 2000 that would
present a problem?  Here is what I am doing with the API and the
Internet:

InternetOpen, InternetClose - wininet
InternetReadFile - wininet
InternetConnectLib  - wininet
HttpQueryInfo - wininet
HttpOpenRequest - wininet

So, I'm using wininet.dll.

     Thank you in advance for this information.     --- Alan

Is that what comes with Office 2007?  If so, finding its minimum system requirements
should be pretty easy.  I'd be willing to bet they purposely chose *not* to support
Windows 2000 with O2k7, because that would thwart their marketing goals.

Huh.  I "got it in one" myself...

Wininet is a sticky ball of thorns.  Odds are, if it worked in 2000, it'll work in
XP or Vista.  I wouldn't bet on the opposite.  So, to answer your question,
"depends."  Given the limited set of functions you're calling, probably not.
