Sir, I put my path and server on the RemoteText.wsf file, but this didnt work.

<package>
<job>
<script language="VBScript">
set oController = CreateObject("WSHController")
set oProcess = oController.CreateScript("D:\Work\RemoteFile.wsf", "localhost")
WScript.ConnectObject oProcess, "remote_"
oProcess.Execute
While oProcess.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
WEnd
WScript.Echo "Done"

Sub remote_Error
Dim theError
Set theError = oProcess.Error
WScript.Echo "Error - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description
WScript.Quit -1
End Sub

</script>
</job>
</package>

Did you try to register the WScript object as stated in the article?

Try this : 1. Go to internet explorer, Tools menu -> Internet options 2. Go to second tab -> Security 3. Enable ActiveX controls and plug ins options. Hope this helps. All the best.

thank you, sir; but i don't think that ActiveX works on other browsers (like Fire Fox) or Operating Systems (like Linux) so, i quit using ActiveX. 100 :rose:, man.
