Thanks Ken! What versions of windows allow you to use Vbscript in this way? I see many uses for such a thing.

You can use VBScript for this, and run VBScript from Rev. Here's a page where they talk about getting the list of printers (EnumPrinterConnections): http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_enumprinterconnections. htm To call VBS from Rev, you basically create a file with the extension ".vbs" (through put url("file:") or open file/write file/close file) and then execute it, and then delete it (so it doesn't lie around). Here's what I use: function doVBS pVBScript,pDirectConsole if pDirectConsole = "" then put "C:\vbs_temp.vbs" into tVBSPath put pVBScript into url ("file:" & tVBSPath) set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell("cscript.exe //nologo" && tVBSPath) else set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell("cscript.exe" && pVBScript) end if put it into tResult if there is a file tVBSPath then send "delete file" && quote & tVBSPath & quote to me in 1 second end if if tResult <> "" then return tResult end doVBS HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
