Hello all,
I am attempting to ping a list of machine names listed within Excel 2003.
So far, I have been able to do this by changing some VBS code I found
online. The problem is that the code opens an existing file, but I would
like to have the results stay in the active spreadsheet.

**Warning** I'm a noobie to VBA code...or any code for that matter, so take
it easy on me. :-)

Here's what I have so far...any help you could provide would be awesome.
Thanks!
