The form is displaying the hostname in a textbox which you can reference in
your VB script ie: me.txtboxname
The "OnClick" event should have your VBscript copied into it refencing the
txtbox as above. In Access rather than using "SHELL" to run the *.vbs file
you can just use the content on the vbs file and with modest changes it
generally runs fine.
