Hi All,
I want to start off by saying that I am just another new guy to the world of VBScripting. I have been asked to learn VBScript by my boss to help out with an issue in our application. So any help here would be much appreciated.

Ok here it goes.

I have an HTML page that is viewed through a field of a program that I am developing. The program is written with Remedy Action Request System. Now this HTML page needs to be able to take data from a field on the page and push it to a field in the application based on some event (probably a click event on a field on the HTML page). Our thought was to do this with a script so I begun my research and ended up with VBScript. Looking at examples from other Remedy based applications, I found that in order to do this I first need to "latch on" to the Remedy app with my script before I can send it any data to the fields. To do this I found the GetObject method and I thought everythig was going great. Unfortunately I ran into a problem. According to a Microsoft Knowledgebase article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;239470 I can't run the GetObject method in an HTML page by design. IE doesn't allow it. Their reasoning makes sense. Now I am faced with finding a way to latch on to the program without using the GetObject method. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a way around it?

If this doesn't make sense or you need more information just let me know. Again, I am new to VBScripting so I could be making assumptions that what I am saying makes sense.

Thanks

What sort of App is it (functionality)?
What does it use to resolve the data (FoxPro / SQL)?
Looking at examples from other Remedy apps, what do they use to 'latch on'?

While reading the MS-page, you notice that if the needed component is locally installed, it will be no prob. to 'latch on' to that component by just using GetObject. (ActiveX will not allow to distribute any components thru the page, but it does support latching on if the component is already distributed)
