Who knows how to get from Visual FoxPro 5.0 the unique computer number,
example from BIOS.
I have a procedure for getting the number of HDD but every time during
reinstalation of Windows that number is changed. So, to conclude, I would
need some computer number which is not changed during every Windows
reinstalation.

I thank for upcoming suggestions. It would mean very much to me.

Hello,
If the machine has a network adapter, then you can retrieve the unique MAC address. I dont know the api's to do that in VFP, but you
can
run NBTSTAT -A [ipaddress] > textfile.txt and read the contents from the text file.
