Using Windows XP and Office 2007;

I need to code a command line instruction using a VBScript file; I've
coded
VBScript for other purposes, but I don't know where to start for something
like this. Is there a chance someone could post a generic way to access
the
command prompt and then write some instructions?

Thanks!

I can think of three ways:
- Use the Run method to open a Command Prompt, then use the SendKeys method
of the Wscript.Shell object to send your keystrokes. This is easy to program
but it is also clumsy and unreliable.
- Use the Run method to invoke a batch file of your choice.
- Use the Exec method to invoke a batch file of your choice.

I suggest you download the help file script56.chm from the Microsoft site to
see detailed examples of the various methods.
