Change to Mapped Drive & Execute .EXE file

[wreded]

First time i've needed VBS. Got the mapping just don't know how to change to mapped drive and start required executable file.
i looked in Forum and FAQs and didn't find what i needed/wanted (though i DID find a few other things that'll help in other ways).
Thanks,
Dave

To execute the app you don't actually need to change directory to the mapped drive, you can just specify the whole pathname:

Dim EXEFILE
EXEFILE = "Path to exe file here"

Set oWshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oWshell.Run EXEFILE
Set oWshell = Nothing

This is effectively the same as running the exe file from the command line.

Cheers,
Dave
