Vista - How to open an external file out of an HTA

08-15-2008

Hi everybody,

I have an HTA wich queries printer informations from the active
directory.
The output is also in the HTA.
By clicking the printer name, the property window of the printer
should open.
The command is "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n \\server
\printer"

How can I put this command in a href?

I tryed
strHTML & "<td><a href='file://rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n
\\" & sn & "\" & pn & "'>"& pn & "</td>"

Thanks

Regards Jan

This is the way I would do it ...

<html>
<head>
<script language=vbs>

sub PrtProperties
sn = Machine.value
pn = Printer.value
sCmd = "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n \\" & sn & "\" & pn
with createobject("wscript.shell")
.run sCmd, 1, false
end with
end sub

</script>
<body>
Machine:<input type=text name=Machine>  
Printer:<input type=text name=Printer>  
<input type=button onclick='vbscript:PrtProperties' value=Properties>
</body>
</html>
