create Shell Object hangs

Re: create Shell Object hangs

You can't shell to a program that uses a user interface from server-side
code. Think about it: who is going to be sitting at the server's monitor to
work with and close these notepad windows ...?

If you want something to be called on the user's machine, then you need to
be thinking about client-side code. Just be aware that there are security
issues involved with client-side code as well. Would you want to navigate to
a web page that used client-side code to launch a potentially dangerous
program (format c:) on your machine?

You will need to investigate hta (html applications) and move followups to
this discussion to a client-side script newsgroup such as
m.p.scripting.v bscript or jscript.

HTH,

Re: create Shell Object hangs

I read somewhere that it is possible to use Java objects in asp, but I never
really looked into it. I suggest you do a search at msdn.microsoft. com or
via google to get further information.
