Problem with Access & Wininet

I have an Access 2002 application that uses wininet.dll to access FTP.  Ran
like a champ for well over a year and suddenly stopped working. After a great
deal of cursing and debugging, I found that the problem seemed to come from a
new version of wininet, with file date of Jan. 2007.  If I swap that out with
an older version of wininet from Oct. 2006, the app works fine.  Problem with
the new is that it can't connect to the target FTP site, that is, the call to
the InetOpen function always returns a 0 handle, although I can verify
through other applications that the FTP site is operating normally.  I've
tried tweaking the InetOpen params, to no avail.  I'm guessing this is some
sort of weird configuration issue since the problem doesn't seem to be
happening for anyone else.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I using the latest wininet dll in access 2003, and it works on visita, and I
seen no changes
in the behaviours.  I installed ie7..and again..nothing seemed to change for
me...

there is a sample mdb here that uses the wininet.dll here:

http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0037.htm

It is possible the update broke something, but I not seen any posts,
article, or anyone else mention this issue. And, as mentioned, I use wininet
with a2003, and it works on windows xp, or vista...both with the latest
service packs and updates.....

Thanks for the response.  I haven't seen anybody else report this issue
either, so I'm pretty sure it's something weird.  I have also encountered the
problem with Access 2003.
Perhaps something to do with IIS. Anyhow, thanks again!  Appreciate your help.
