When I use this class below it says "Name 'config' not
declared" for the following line:

Dim sMethod As String = config.AppSettings("DialupMethod")

How do I declare this guy?

Thanks,

Bob

I tried putting that line in the code below and still
come up with declaration error... but now on the line you
suggest.

Hummm??
 
Do you have System.Configuration imported at the top of your code file?
