Undefined variable WScript - Trying to shell to external program Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

What is wrong with this VBScript :-

option explicit
sub Main
'Get the current account's SLX record Id
Dim strAccountID
strAccountID = application.BasicFunctions.CurrentAccountID

'Open the Works Order builder to create a new works order for the SLX account, and if there is no
'associated Sales Ledger account, create one.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("""C:\Program Files\Sage\MMS\PDM.Oilsense.Launcher.exe"" wopbuilder new " & strAccountID)
end sub

What I need to do is launch an exe program from a Step on a Sales Process.
When I click the link on the Step, an error is displayed which is :-

An error occurred executing active script (System:WOPBuilder).
Error calling method Main
Variable is undefined: 'WScript'
at line 9, char 5

Any help appreicated

Drop the WScript object. Change from this:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

to this:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Then is should work fine. You can read more and see a sample here: http://saleslogixblog.com/rfarley/archive/2004/02/10/331.aspx

Hey Ryan,

I would think he would also have a problem with 'WshShell' not being defined as well. I cannot seem to see it in the declarations.

He has to add a

dim WshShell
