    Mr. Tobey,
    Thank you for your response.

    Please excuse my ignorance, how do you search the archives? The only search
    I know about is on the newsgroup page and that does not give the result you
    point me to.

    The page pointed to by your response did not point to any usable VB code,
    but some research makes me believe that this is the solution that posting is
    trying to get to:

        Declare Function KernelIoControl Lib "coredll" (ByVal dwIoControlCode As
    Long, ByVal lpInBuf As String, ByVal nInBufSize As Long, ByVal lpOutBuf As
    String, ByVal lnOutBufferSize As Long, ByVal lpBytesReturned As Long) As
    Boolean

        Const IOCTRL_HAL_REBOOT = 16842812

        Dim lValue As Long
        KernelIoControl(IOCTRL_HAL_REBOOT, "", 0, "", 0, lValue)

    I see this posting in many places but it does not seem to work, when I try
    it I get a “NotSupportedOption” error.
