Thank you, Shift-3. Solution looks great. I hadn't asked for this in the original question but how would I use a drop down list to assign value to variable &quot;strHost&quot;. I would like this to run from a .HTA. I've been tinkering with it since I posted the original question but haven't been able to pass the value of the selected item in drop-down list to the &quot;strHost&quot; variable.<br />
Thanks again!<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
