how do i run an executable file using a vb script?

Simple VB example:

Set wShell = CreateObject("wScript.Shell")

wShell.Run "notepad"

'alternatively you can use .exec method if you need to wait for the application to load

There are any number methods of doing so.  What I've used in the past is that I've implemented a WScript.Shell object and called the Run method.  That pretty much allows you to run anything that you would at a command line

You would use the Sys.OleObject property (http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/56929/) to instantiate the WScript.Shell within your VBScript.



Hope this helps.
