Hi Chip,
I was looking at the Burn to CD and it uses the Homer stuff. Does that
also fail in Vista? Knowing that Vista liked to destroy everything...
I wrote a simple record and play routine in Python. It needs no prompt,
just pass into it the file name and if you want to also play back, but I can
also have 2 executables for that, but playsound would be the one to use at
that point...
So, no prompt needed, just to pass in a file name, but can also have an
input statement inside the record instead of passing in the name.
I already have a .vbs file that can do all of that, but WE does not like
external scripts. That uses the run method with the option for window opened
full size to allow the use of keys to stop record and exit. But, it is an
external script.
No big deal, but an option for an option to record wav files.

Hi Bruce,
you can look at either wScript.shell or shell.application, depending on what
you need.
If you need to run an executable command, and you'd like that command to not
fail in Vista/win 7, but to use the UAC prompt if necessary, have a look at
the lines below which I use in one of my apps to do this:
Set loShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Speak "Now running the WSRMacros installation program."
loShell.ShellExecute fileName, "/passive", "", "runas"
It's the "runas" parameter which allows UAC to prompt the user.
hth,
Chip
