Shaggydog Shaggydog Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-20 Posts: 31 Loc: Mississauga, ON	Hi Everyone, I'm new to this board, and I've done enough searching through your postings to know that you guys are pretty cool and you know your stuff. I don't. What I'm looking to do here at work is create a script for each location that will add the appropriate printers and drive mappings. I figured out how to do that quickly, but what I would like to do from here is develop an If statement that searches to see if the printer already exists in the profile, and then skip by that section of code, saving time for the user of course. what I have now is simply this Addprinterconnection ("\\myserver\WinLexT612") use f: "\\myserver\Global Users" What can I do to check to see if that printer connection already exists? Thanks guys. Shaggy

When I went to the UDF section and read up about this, there was alot more complicated code. Anyways, I tried simply inserting the code you gave me, changing the names appropriately, but haven't come to any success. Do I have to declare a function called primapstate and then call it later on?
