Sure, go to the scripting home page and follow the trail to scriptomatic. Scriptomatic is a tool that will allow you to generate wmi code in any of the four languages I referenced. It should be a great tool for a VFP developer to say, write some WMI code that gives you the serial number of the cpu, or maybe lets you access the printer queue, and purge, etc.
Download it and run it and you'll see what I'm talking about. It pretty much throws back most of the covers for you.

Consider this your one-stop shop for all your Windows system administration scripting needs." You mentioned JavaScript, which makes me think of web pages. But the site seems geared towards "Windows system administration scripting." I couldn't find a good explanatory page on the Scriptomatic tool. Is there one?

John Subject: scripting tools - free downloads from MS Scripting homepge http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx Downloadable tools on this page http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/createit.mspx The scriptomatic tool will write scripts for you in javascript, vbscript, perl, python and will output in a bunch of formats. I've downloaded and installed the scriptomatic, wmi creator and just noticed the adsi scripting tool. There is a new one for Windows 2007 called powerscript. Great tools at a great price!

I hadn't heard of it, and after googling a bit, I still don't know what it's supposed to be targeted at. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
