Thanks George,
I tried getting it to work in VFP for Silvio, but I'm TERRIBLE at converting VB scripts to VFP! I guess I need more practice at that because I often find useful vbscripts that I would like to do in VFP! I knew if anyone could get it working though that you or Ed could! I appreciate your taking a look at it!

>I haven't played around with this much. However, I believe, that in order for GETOBJECT() in VFP to work, you'll have to first create one of the WMI object. Like so

oWMI = CREATEOBJECT("WbemScripting.SWbemNamedValueSet")
>oObj = GETOBJECT("WINMGMTS:")

GETOBJECT() will fail otherwise. Now whether or not that's the ProgID you need in CREATEOBJECT(), is another question entirely. I haven't been able to duplicate your code in VBScript in VFP (yet), but the documentation shows a lot of useful information. I think (but don't know for sure) that WMI may install on Win2K Pro by default. That's a guess, however.
