Re: O.T. ==> PING discussion

Since we're on an OT excursion...

You can ping a list of IPs from inside Access and write the results
back to your DB. Very little to it. There's code at vbnet (Randy
Birch's site). You can call it from inside Access. The way I did it
was to convert the various possible responses to T/F (I think the
"success" variable = 0, so you compare that result to zero.) Then if
you open an updateable recordset on your table, you can have access do
all the pinging for you.
