For portability reasons, you may want to count on the ping command returning a 0 for success and 1 for failure. On Windows and every *nix platform I've seen, that is the case with the ping command.

Put a button on the form that kicks off the ping workflow. The ping workflow does a set fields action against the hidden field. Do a RUN PROCESS in the set fields action. By doing a RUN PROCESS in the set fields, the output of the ping (or any DOS command or batch file, for that matter) is redirected into the hidden field. Next, create an active link that sets your selection field (radio button or whatever) if the contents of the hidden field are LIKE "%Reply from%". -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gornto Robert R YC-02 37 CS/SCBM Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 12:13 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Ping Like a selection filed..
