Hi Jonathan,
Anything that can be done with Visual Basic or VBScript can almost
always be done from within Access. Here's one place to start:

The trouble is... that I still have yet to see a decent reference to what
you do within WMI. For example... one of the samples within that site
includes this...
select * from ds_computer where ds_cn='userName'","WQL",32
....and there's no references (that I've seen) to what on earth that is
doing. What's the WQL?... the 32?... how do I change the first select part
if I want default mail address from a user?
Not saying that you're wrong John, just that these methods are *incredibly*
badly supported by MS.

Yep.
Wondering if anyone has written any sort of wrapper code to make the access
simpler for mere mortals?
