hi Threp,
If you have vb (classic), then you could insert that code
and compile it to an exe. As for the newer vb (vb.net)
you could also use that, although it is a bit more
complicated.
As far as the other suggestions you will get here, (autoit,
vbs2exe, etc), those are not really "compilers", they are
more accurately characterized as "wrappers". What they do
is wrap (bundle) up your script with the runtimes into an
exe file. So, while it looks like an exe, it is really
only an exe startup module which will then just run your
script in the background.
For all practical purposes, this may be a distinction without
a difference. So if all you want is an exe, there are lots
of ways to get there.
cheers, jw
