Thank you everyone. This is really getting somewhere...Maestr0: That was great info...is there a simple VB program or something I can really customize and configure to read the event logs, grab the information I need, and update the information every like 15-30sec.? I would like to display the info in a spreadsheet like graph (think console snap-in) and be able to create graphs and catagorize the data for easy viewing. I know I'm asking a lot but, maybe what I'm looking for dosen't exist and with some help form you guys I can develop somehthing that will be very useful to MS Admins.
