Executing applications from vbscript

[mboswell1]

Is there a way to execute Word and/or Excel from vbscript?

Yes,<br>Set AnObjectName=CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot<br>AnObjectName.Run &quot;WinWord.exe&quot;<br>AnObjectName.Run &quot;Excel.exe&quot;<br>AnObjectName.Run &quot;Calc.exe&quot;<br><br><br>

You can also use OLE automation, as both Excel and Word are also ActiveX servers. <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

can this code also be used to run a vb .exe program I wrote?&nbsp;&nbsp;Or do I have to make it into a control?

 

[NickBulka]

Is this in a web page or a desktop script? <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

 

[allyeric]
