I'm sorry. it is oShell = CREATEOBJECT('Shell.Application')
Windows says that it is not registered. However, it is not the same message I would get it I typed oShell = CREATEOBJECT("Italian.beef") which gives me "Class Definition Not Found".
I will look for the Windows Scripting Host. Shouldn't I already have it with IE5?

>oShell = CREATEOBJECT('Shell.Application')

>If an error occurs at this point, it may mean that the Windows Scripting Host(WSH) isn't installed. I believe that it's available as a download from the Microsoft site. I don't know the URL off-hand (I'm running Win98, and it's part of that installation). Maybe someone else here does know it.
