Bruce, My apologies, I don’t understand how the command line arguments sync with using the GetObject with no first argument. Can you provide some pointers on that?
Also, remember that double clicking a vbs script with GetObject works correctly in obtaining a copy of the current Reflection session, but adding this VBS into WE Environment and then running it fails with the Can’t create Active X Object error.
