Okay, what am I doing wrong here? I only want to see computers that don't have the software "officescan". However, none disappear with my filter. See attached.

Jonathan,

Change the Application Name to "contains" and change the collection to "Don't Match" (click on the Match link at the top). The way the filter is currently set up will match computers that have any software that doesn't contain "officescan" which is all of the computers.

We're working on some interface changes that will make it easier to deal with this situation, as it's not exactly obvious.

Ok that works. Yes, my brain's logic doesn't work the way the filter's logic works. Thanks.

No problem, boolean logic is always a brain twister :)
