How to run an EXE file from Hyperlink and add paramater

[nicks60610]

I am trying to run an application from the Intranet page and pass a parameter so that when the user selects open, it will open the application and pass the paramater (file name to open) in the same command line - has anyone ever done this successfully??

Thanks in advance,

see this thread in this forum: thread215-795695. it talks about how to use vbscript to run an application using the "shell" object. while the basic syntax is

shellobject.run("program.exe")

there's no reason why you can't tag on some paramaters like

shellobject.run("program.exe para1 para2")

Thanks guys! What I did was this, I created a batch file that opens the file using the correct program and it works great! Now I will try to find out how to "automatically" open the file without prompting the client to open/save.

nicks, if you look at the above referenced thread, it'll show you how to do that.
