VBScript Status

[mcatet]

I am creating a BAT file on steroids using VBS. It is a stand alone program not used with HTML.

Basically, it is used as a way to backup files to a newtwork drive.

I need a way to show progress, like a progress bar in VB.
I want this to be as simple as possible. My thought was to use notpad to display steps as they are completed. THe problem I have is that I don't know how to refresh Notpad to show subsequent steps.

Any ideas how to do this better or how to refresh Notpad?

Thanks,

mcatet,

Have you looked into an HTA app? It is basically using HTML and VBscript, more powerful than just a bat file.

Go to the URL below and look under Web Development.

An HTA would be cool to display my status, but I need to update it as my app runs. How can change the hts file's content from a VBS file?

Thanks,
