How to pass the parameter from ASP to VBS when calling a vbs?

Hi all,

How to pass an arguement from ASP page to VB Script?


Thks in advance,
AL

Um... wanna be more specific??

yeah..
i planning to view Tiff format image on the browser window.

i have another file called say is imaging.vbs which can lauch a wang imaging application (wangimg.exe) or use it's component to view the tiff. however, i got problem of passing the parameter to the image.vbs in order to let it know which tiff file i would like to open.

here attached a sample of the code that can load tiff File by using the wang imaging component inside the IE windows.
