I've also found the following references to be useful to learn about WMI: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/wmi_reference.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/wmi.asp http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx You should also check the WMI Administrative Tools (available for free download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6430F853-1120-48DB-8CC5-F2ABDC3ED314 or by following the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Tools link at http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/wmi.asp) provides a lot of details. As well, there's a great little tool, Scriptomatic 2.0, that will write WMI scripts for you. While it's intended for VBScript, the scripts are compatible with VBA. Check http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/tools/scripto2.mspx to download this tool. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Matt" <Programming[ at ]mscdirect.co.uk> wrote in message news:420BE0A0-0FA8-47F5-AC0F-FB5E45D78CD3[ at ]microsoft.com...
