Hello Forum user

I built an website using Html and Vbscript.
Locally if I use the html code its fine running excellently but same thing I want to do by placing my site on intranet
I uploaded it to intranet but i am facing some problem .my site contains buttons, when user clicks button an action must be done on client ,like software in client will be opened plus a file will opened.

eg: c://scd/flosi2001/bin/flosi.exe -sfp M:\new\run3.ses

I saved this path in a batch file and placed this batch file in server thinking that it will work.I gave action to that button my Batch
file.My code includes some functions plus concatenation of that file ..
Can you help me in regard ? or least can you give me a tip to solve this problem?

With regards
Prasad

If it is Intranet application, you can create ActiveX control and this control can access client files, otherwise you cannot do it with simple HTML/vbscript code

That's right, scripting languages are purposely cut down so they can't maliciously interact with the client users files & folders etc (could you imagine all the vireuses which would be out there if this wasn't true)?
