Roger, thanks for the code. I'll give it a try. Having read a bunch of the documentation though, I'm concerned it may not work as some of our users won't have admin rights. I was hoping this would provide them the Zone Alarm type prompt so that non-admin could approve the listening app upon execution. If all else fails it gives me a starter for checking for existing exceptions.
Here's to hoping!!!
