Hey Hugo,

I'm having a bit of a problem interpreting the documentation for the parameter list.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

m.lnResult = m.loservicem.create("Netrics Search Server", "Netrics Search Server", "c:\program files\netrics\netricsd-3.3.11-ET-eval.exe", 16, 1, "Automatic", .f., "", "", "", "", "")

I'm getting a "OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from SWbemObjectEx: Type mismatch" error.

Have you or anybody else any idea what I've done wrong?

Thanks for your help.
