We report preliminary results for a low-mass stellar and substellar companion search program using the Near Infrared and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). The NICMOS Camera 2 coronagraph was used to search in a region approximately 0.4\arcsec-4\arcsec from the target stars. Targets were selected to take advantage of the onboard acquisition software and were observed with single orbit visits. Seven IR-excess stars were observed: HD10476, HD218396, HD48682, HD155826, HD68456, HD87696, HD84117.
Support for this work was provided by NASA through grant number G0-07835.03-96A from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI).
