Get reference to objects in called script?

It required killing because I was originally using window.close in the cancel routine and it was causing problems. I'll show you since I don't seem to be able to explain it.

Get reference to objects in called script?

I"ve got it working now. I was using window.close in the cancel routine, but the code was still processing. I changed the window.close to a wmi terminate and now it closes the MS Apps correctly and kills the mshta. Works fine.

This also means that you cannot have a reference to one that is sharable except that you can return the process ID and use that as a Kill mechanism.

Get reference to objects in called script?

The only response I get to this question is to completely redesign the application. I guess it's assumed that the design is arbitrary? I guess I am confused, as I was under the impression that seperating interface from processing was standard design. The specific reason they are seperated is so that...

Hello, I have an hta that calls a vbs, which in turn instantiates MS Word and MS Excel. It scrapes the word doc (which must follow a certain format) and with info gleaned from the user in the hta creates a spreadsheet out of the data from the word doc.

wshshell.run breaks when converted to .exe

I have an hta I am attempting to convert to an exe with htaedit. Everything works fine, (wshshell.run on an hta runs ok) except I have a wshshell.run command to run a vbs file.
