Did you notice that Dr. GUI use an antiquated get machine name procedure in his "prescription" He Used the following:

   PROCEDURE GetMachineName AS STRING
      LOCAL lcThisMachineName AS STRING
      lcThisMachineName = LEFT(SYS(0),ATC("#",SYS(0))-1)
      RETURN lcThisMachineName
   ENDPROC

He could have used:

GETENV("COMPUTERNAME")

>I thought I would pass this on. I just saw it posted. Dr. Gui had a good response but the title left a little something to be desired. "Hooking the Old Fox" just didn't seem right. They were referencing VFP 6.0, I didn't think that was old yet. *GRIN*
