Hi Pete!
just try this, try to add foxrun.pif and complist.txt (just save any blank notepad file as complist.txt ) on the default directory

CREATE CURSOR netComps(computer c(254))
DECLARE INTEGER WinExec IN win32api AS custrun ;
STRING command, INTEGER param
 
=custrun("foxrun.pif /C net view > complist.txt",0)

FILETOSTR("complist.txt")
*Find out if coms on networks are alive.
*Parse a FILETOSTR() file to find the active computers on the network.
DIMENSION laCompList[OCCURS("\\",FILETOSTR("complist.txt")),2]
FOR lnx = 1 TO OCCURS("\\",FILETOSTR("complist.txt"))
   lcCompName = SUBSTR(FILETOSTR("complist.Txt"),AT("\\",FILETOSTR("complist.Txt"),lnX)+2,7)
   laCompList[lnX,1] = lcCompName &&Save the computername to the array
 	
 	cComputer = "\\" +ALLTRIM(lcCompName)+[\C\]
 	SELECT netComps
 	APPEND BLANK
 	replace computer WITH cComputer
ENDFOR
