No problem, Alex. As I told him, it sounds like a registration problem. The function will fail at some point, if the ProgID isn't properly registered. Part of the problem with tracking problems like this down is that there are several files associated with the Windows Script Host (wshom.ocx, scrrun.dll, etc.). I wrote that function just for problems like this one.
