Question about .vbs file

[EdRev]

Can somebody tell me what .vbs files are and how I can launch it from an ASP page.

A .vbs file is a Visual Basic Scripting Edition file. The syntax within these files is very similar to ASP, with a few modifications.

How are you wanting to 'call' the VBS file? Are you wanting to run it on the server or the client? Generally, VBS files are thought of a 'virusy' when run on clients, and are considered too slow to work for the server.

Anyway, let us know a little more about your application, we'll see what we can do.

PS, if you have Windows NT/2000/XP, you may enjoy this:

Create a new file on your desktop called ram.vbs. Inside of this file, place this code:

Dim a
a = Space(1024 * 1024 * 96)
MsgBox "Done!", vbInformation, "RAM Clear"

Whenever you're in need of a few megs of RAM, just double click that icon

Sorry I wasnt't able to answer you back, had some difficulty connecting to tek-tips.com. Anyway, I'm trying to run the .vbs file on the server. How can I call this from my asp page. Should I create a function to call this script? If I do how can I do that?
