Can ActiveX controls be called by Macro Scheduler?

Rain · Post by **Rain** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 7:06 pm

I want to call and run an ActiveX web launch control with Macro Scheduler. Is it even possible? The ActiveX is being called by clicking a link on a website; it then launches a program installed on the PC. Can the same within a script without having to use the web link?

Thanks

Hi Rain,

Have you tried the HTTPRequest> command? Perhaps this format would activate it...

HTTPRequest>http://www.mjtnet.com,,GET,,HTMLResponse

...put in your URL and see what it does (and let us know). Also, if you can, please post the actual link here on the forums... it would make it a lot easier to test various solutions.

Perhaps someone can supply a VBScript solution?

Take care

Hi jpuziano,

Thank you for your reply. I ditched the project and decided to go a different route without having to call/run the ActiveX file.
