I present a preliminary analysis of IR spectra of five K and M dwarfs and two RS CVn variables. Evidence for significant magnetic flux is found on several stars, a number of which are detected for the first time. Field strengths (B) on the RS CVn variables are lower than in the active dwarfs, consistent with the concept of pressure balance limiting B in stellar photospheres. I compare the results with previous measurements.
