Hey frndz,

I need to take input from the user before processing anything else. However, the values that the user can supply are limited - so I have decided to use a drop-down list box from which the user can select the required values. I have searched a lot for a script that would do this - but i was unable to find any...

Remember that only VBScript is used - anything else is ruled out. In essence, I mean I need a window similair to the one displayed by InputBox - with the text-box in it replaced with a combo-box. Is there any way that this can be achieved using VBScript (alone) ???

Thanks in Advance,
Anoop.

You cannot do this with VBScript. If you don't have a lot of choices, you could turn the text of the input box into menu. I've used this technique before. You just have to check return value of the input box.

Another option would be to start an instance of Internet Explorer and create the drop down box there.

You can also just write your VBScript as part of an HTA which is essentially the same as creating an instance of IE as SAPIENScripter suggested but it would keep everything in one process.
