Sorry, I misstated. It shows as an object, but I get an error on the next line of code

db_proc = lo_WMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name='FTP.EXE'")

Which cannot find the value or object "loWMIService".


>(Do you have an Error manager in effect?)

None that I know of.

Check.

No idea. I do ODBC and COM calls to other applications, but I do not know whether Scripting Host is enabled or not.

Check. Both my PC and the server check out with the proper settings.

Checked. Still no luck.
