Your hta have no body, so nothing to do but display a blank screen.

Hope This Help, PH.
Want to get great answers to your Tek-Tips questions? Have a look at FAQ219-2884
 
PHV is right in his regard but I get the inclination that you think applicationName is the actual path to the executable to be called and displayed, in the hta. This is not so my friend you have to call an exe some other way. like the registry, then you have to setup bindings in the hta, and binders in the executable, so far i have yet to accomplish this... but what you can do is create a bat file that writes the output of the exe to a text file, read that text file and dispay it in the hta.

cheers, Phalanx1

p.s. it's been some time since I have seen this thread, i thought it was to be forgotten. [tongue]
