I am trying to get my script to open a very small visual basic program that has been written for me but I can not work out how to do it.

Please help me!!!

On the Mac platform we use ApppleScript.

Windoze has a primitive implementation of similar called ActiveX - sorry can't give an example.

Maybe the programmer can help ?

I assume that the VB program has been compiled into an .EXE? Does it have (or need) command line arguments? Use the Send Message script step as follows:

If there are no command line args involved, select the first option "File" and drill down to the file name of the VB pgm. If there are command line args, save the path and VB program name in a text global followed by the command args (I think they have to be quoted) and then select "Field Value". When you execute the script, the VB pgm should run.
