HI

I have tried the following to open a word instance to insert some fields from a form on my web site, however it doesnt seem to work or even show the word instance. Am i missing something obvious, as it works in normal VB,

<html>
<body>
<script language="vbscript">

set wrd = createobject("word.application")

wrd.visible = true

</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance

Nathan

Hi there
Try to copy these lines into notepad, and saveas "test.vbs".

set oshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
oshell.run("winword")

To execute the *.vbs file, you just have to doubleclick on the filename.
Hopefully this works ok ....

Hiya,

I tried your code, and it doesn't work as how you put it in your first post, however, after closing the Script with its tag, it did work just fine:
