Hi Ken
BTW, I'm assuming you're talking about Rev 3, right? If not, let me know as there's a couple of differences between VBS in Rev 2.x and Rev 3. Thank you all for help - I use 2.9 and did not know that there are differences in handling of vbs in the new runrev 3.0. I came to the following solution: instead of running vbs from runrev I use scan.hta (hyptertext application) with the code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Scannen</title> <BODY onLoad="scanner.CurrentSource='2';scanner.ShowUI ='False';scanner.Units='2';scanner.Resolution = '150';scanner.ImageLeft='0';scanner.ImageRight='4';scanner.ImageBottom='4';scanner.AcquireToFile('test.jpg');"> <object ID=scanner CLASSID="CLSID:A96AC4E0-6EBF-11D0-AA7C-00608CC9A71F"> </object> </body> </html> this works from commandline (I use the shell("scan.hta") command from runrev). If I would put a Self.Close on the End of the Body onLoad, the scan would not start because the hta is closing before. A new problem occured: The mshta.exe process in any case does not close on the machine I am testing on (xp sp3). => I do need vbs from runrev for that. In the case the mshta.exe does not close (a problem in ms windows documented in the ms kb) I use the following vbs in field 1 and run it from runrev. This works and closes any process "mshta.exe". on mouseUp put field 1 into auftrag; do auftrag as VBScript; put the result end mouseUp set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:") wql = "select * from win32_process" set ergebnis = wmi.ExecQuery(wql) for each objekt in ergebnis liste = liste & objekt.name & " Prozess-ID: " & objekt.processID & vbCr next wql = "select * from win32_process where name='mshta.exe'" set ergebnis = wmi.ExecQuery(wql) for each mshta in ergebnis mshta.Terminate 0 next _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
