Hi Mike,

I actually was running that script outside of VFP. If I put brackets around it, I get a syntax error (from the script engine) and if I use parenthesis, it runs but I still get the same A referral was returned from the server error. :-(

>VFP needs brackets at this line.

objUser.Put("sAMAccountName", "SmithJohn")
