>I would like to include a routine that verifies the existence of a computer on the network (by name). Currently this name is in the form of a variable. However I'm wondering if there's a (Win32?) or other method of getting a yes/no so I can tell my program what to do from there. As always examples are greatly appreciated!

You can use WMI or LDAP, but, if the name if the only thing you want, take a look at ANETRESOURCES help

For example, something like this might work
lparameters tcComputer
local laComputers(1), lnComputer
Anetresources(laComputers, Getenv("USERDOMAIN"), 1)
lnComputer = Ascan(laComputers, '\\' + tcComputer) 
return lnComputer
