Hi Jim, Would a variation of this code, which is from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2800081/how-to-run-an-external-program-e-g-notepad-using-hyperlink do it for you? function runProgram() { var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); var appWinMerge = "\"C:\\Program Files\\WinMerge\\WinMergeU.exe\" /e /s /u /wl /wr /maximize"; var fileLeft = "\"D:\\Path\\to\\your\\file\""; var fileRight= "\"D:\\Path\\to\\your\\file2\""; shell.Run(appWinMerge + " " + fileLeft + " " + fileRight); } Best Wishes, Youssif H.

Can I run a Progress program from javascript ADO? Thread created by S33 Hi -- I want to use a javascript function to run a Progress program. Is this possible? I found an example that is close: function connectDb() { var ConnDB = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection"); ConnDB.ConnectionString="dsn=MyDSN;uid=foo;pwd=bar;"; ConnDB.Open(); var Rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset"); var tempstr=""; Rs.Open("select * from customer",ConnDB,1,3); while(!Rs.EOF) { tempstr = tempstr + Rs("name") + " br "; Rs.MoveNext; } } That Rs.Open command contains a SQL command, and I think I could tweak this to use a SQL stored proc. But is there a way to run a Progress 4GL program, and if so, how would it know where that program resided? TIA - Jim Stop receiving emails on this subject. Flag this post as spam/abuse.
