Code: $ShellAd = '%comspec% /c dsquery user -samid ' + @USERID + ' \| dsget user -profile' Shell $ShellAd I've never used the ds_tools, but I would bet if you look in the UDF Forum, you will find a number of User Defined Functions already written that will do what you want without the need to shell out. _________________________ (... better days ahead)
