The following code works perfectly when run from a .vbs file. How can I utilize this code from a web page form button? Currently, the code errors on the first line.


Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Code: 
PrinterPath = "\\ServerName\PrinterName"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\ServerName\PrinterName"

Thanks in advance.

I may be wrong here but I believe you need to drop the Wscript as shown below,

Sorry don't have a network to test it against.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply. The error message now is... "Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'WScript.Network'".

Here is the implementation...I'm open for any suggestions.

Code: 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
<!--
Function Button1_OnClick()

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Network&quot;)
Code: 
  PrinterPath = &quot;\\ServerName\PrinterName&quot;
  WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath
  WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter &quot;\\ServerName\PrinterName&quot;
End Function
-->
</SCRIPT>
Code: 
<FORM NAME=&quot;Form1&quot;>
  <INPUT TYPE=&quot;Button&quot; NAME=&quot;Button1&quot; VALUE=&quot;Install Printer&quot;>
</FORM>

Thanks in advance.
