Open .vbs from Web Page

[cwsstins]

I've got a page that describes "what will happen if you click the link." I want for the user to click the link, then my .vbs script will run. However, when the link is clicked, a File Download box pops up asking if you'd like to Open, Save, or Cancel this file.

I've got the link set up as a regular <A> tag. Is there a better way to do this so that the file will just run without prompting?

Hello stinsman!

Make it a button. When the button is clicked, it performs a sub routine that calls your script.

Good luck!

OK, I've got a button that calls a sub. At this point, the sub just opens a msgbox. How do I make the sub open another .vbs file?

An insecure way is to Execute the result of a ReadAll call.

I'm trying:

Execute("\\server\directory\file.vbs")

as the sub. And then calling the sub with an image. This is not working.

Take a look at FileSystemObject.

Everything I'm finding for FileSystemObject explains how to create text files or determine if a file exists, etc. I want to run another .vbs.

Execute the result of a [highlight]ReadAll[/highlight] call
