Yzowl, Thanks I will look at Powershell and the other post. Thanks! gunsmokingman, I have been messing with HTA and I like the way it works. So I may lean in that direction, any help would be great. Scott

Hello, I am new to the forums as a poster, I have utilized code from here before and it has always been great. So I have a question, I got this code form this forum and it works great. I want to make a GUI instead of the text file for results and make it ping in a loop until I stop it. Any ideas or other posts you can point me to would be great. Thank you again for all of the time you spend helping us less intelligent.
