I am receiving the following runtime error(91):
object variable or with block variable not set

I do not think its relatged to to the sping.dll I am using but how I am
instantiating object but looking for help.

Private Sub SwitchStatus()

    Dim ping As SPing

    Dim txtRemoteHost As String
    txtRemoteHost = "10.128.189.156"

    ping.RemoteHost = ""        <---------------------------------When I
select debug it highlights line.
    MsgBox txtRemoteHost
    ping.RemoteHost = txtRemoteHost
    ping.DoPing

    If ping.RemoteHostIP = "" Then
        MsgBox "Could not resolve host " + ping.RemoteHost
    End If

    Select Case ping.ReplyCode
    Case 0
        IsOnline = True
    Case Else
        IsOnline = False
    End Select

End Sub

or, in VB,
Set ping = new sping

I'm always forgetting the Set, another source of vb bugs.....
