SYMPTOMS
The RASEO_TerminalAfterDial and the RASEO_TerminalBeforeDial flags are not set if specified in the RasSetEntryProperties Win32 function call.



CAUSE

RESOLUTION
Set the Pop Up A Terminal Window option manually in the phone book after programmatically creating or modifying the phonebook entry.



MORE INFORMATION
The RasSetEntryProperties call is used to programmatically create or modify Remote Access phone book entries. One of the options that can be specified is whether to open a terminal window before and/or after dialing using the RASEO_TerminalAfterDial and RASEO_TerminalBeforeDial option flags for dwfOptions in the rasentry structure that is passed as a parameter by RasSetEntryProperties.
