Does anyone know if there is a list that shows what functions are compatible with what OS?

Secondly, what function should I use as an alternative to return a certain number of characters of a string?

Thanks!

Check out the WSH help document in my sig, look under vbscript/reference/Version info and you will find a list there. Also, I have not had any issues with using Left or Right on 2000 and if I remember correctly, on NT4. To get a rough idea what version you have installed copy the following line into a script and see what you get.

msgbox wscript.version, alternativly, you can get the version by looking at vbscript.dll found in the windows folder.
