Okay, first I would like to thank everyone for their input, I do appreciate it.

I tried the solution Sealeopard suggested:

IF VAL (READPROFILESTRING(@LDRIVE+'\uk-scripts\exclude.ini','Exclude',@WKSTA)) = 1
EXIT 0
ELSE
"It works!"
ENDIF

and now at least I get the message, but I get it regardless of if the PC is excluded or not. I created the exclude.ini, added the PC's with = 1. The bat file that calls it goes:

@echo off

%0\..\kix32 %0\..\test.kix

pause

Could it be the version of kix that I'm running? 3.62?

Any help would be appreciated. Again, thx all!
