Thanks a lot, Mark,
I actually read that MSDN description of acceptPKCS7
function, which does not say what "result" is.
Do you mean that "result" is actually a reserved key
word in VBScript that refers to an HTTP response?
In other words, "result" is not the name of a hidden
HTML form?
Thanks.
Mark
