Thanks Tim. I looked thru your code and you pointed me at just what I
need: SWbemLocator.ConnectServer Method which is awesome. I already
have the WMI portion of my program working so I was using SWbemLocator
already...I just didn't know about that specific method. That's a big
help. I've bookmarked that page...lot of good stuff there.
