Very cool John. Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 6:58 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving; VBA Subject: [AccessD] This is why i love C# I use virtual machines to do some processing. When not using the VMs I turn off the entire physical machine that hosts the VMs. I have code that needs to move files to / from the VMs, but I need to check that they exist before I try to do so. The .Net framework has an entire namespace for the Net and it specifically has a PING class which allows me to ping an IP to see if it responds. Voila, instant "is the machine turned on" code. -- John W.
