Folks,
I'm kinda stuck with the return of the Computer Model.

If objItem.model = "HP Compaq DC7100 (xxxx)" Then

The problem i'm having is the XXXX above is the serial number which differs from machine, What i'm hoping to do is for the script to read up as far as "HP Compaq DC7100" leave out the xxxx part so it can make the decision from there. Bascially what i'm doing is automating the installation of drivers for a general xp image.

Any ideas?

Thanks

John

Try:

Left()

Example:

MsgBox Left(objItem.model,16) 'outputs: HP Compaq DC7100

I prefer to use the Split method for this sort of thing.

For example.

ArrayModel=Split("HP Compaq DC7100 (xxxx)","(")
WScript.Echo arraymodel(0)

You actually didn't need to post this again. In your first post I posted an example using instr which would have worked.
