Hello,

I have an Access application from which I need to call a vbscript which will
ping a server and display results to the user.

In Access, a form displays a record. This record has the hostname of a
server. When clicking the "Ping Server" command button, the vbscript should
be called.

I need to know how to pass the hostname of the server to the ping command.
Can anyone help me understand how to pass this hostname to the script so that
the correct server is returned? The script can either interpret the results
and display a success or fail message or the results of the ping can be
written to a file and the script can read the file, then display the results.

TIA,
DetRich
