pardon me if this is a wrong group to post this question...!

I am trying to invoke a batch file on the server using a link/button on the
ASP web page.

I tried
Set WShShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RetCode = WShShell.Run("C:\test1.bat")

-***-
Set Executor = Server.CreateObject("ASPExec.Execute")
Executor.Application = "cmd.exe"
Executor.Parameters = "/c c:\test1.bat"
Executor.ShowWindow = False
strResult = Executor.ExecuteWinApp

Neither of them work......
any ideas.....

thanks in advance,
_Uday
