Sorry guys, this is driving me crazy. I've written (borrowed/copied/made up) a script that will monitor a directory for new files being created, and it works fine. Now I would like to have an argument added which determines that directory at executing of cscript (so I can type cscript.exe monitor.vbs c:\scripts for instance). I can't get it to work. Here's what I've tried: strComputer = "." fold = wscript.arguments.item(0) foldr = replace(fold,"\","\\\\") wscript.echo foldr Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE " _ & "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _ & "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _ & "'Win32_Directory.Name="& foldr & "'") Do While TRUE Set objEventObject = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent() Select Case objEventObject.Path_.Class Case "__InstanceCreationEvent" etc etc... no matter how hard I try to massage the & "'Win32_Directory.Name="& foldr & "'") line, I always get either an unparsable or invalid query. It works fine with c:\\\\scripts (etc). Can anyone please help me out? Much appreciated! Adrian
