    API to Remotes

    Hi All:
    Can one computer access a remote (peer to peer LAN) to get system information directly through the windows api? I would like to set the date fields in a multiuser Access db based on the mdb file's host. Clients use a VB front end. I know in theory how to do this indirectly with programmed remote components.

    Thanx

    Not directly. You'd need to use a client/server app using Winsock. The client could request that the server app uns the relevant API's on the remote machine, then it returns the values to the client. That's what I would do anyway.
