how to use a .vbs file

[carry]

Hi.
someone knows how to use a .vbs file inside autocad?
I better explain I have a .vbs file to read .mdb files but I don't understand how you can use it inside autocad,
I should be able to read the .mdb file, read the values and pass them to the lisp.
Thank you.

from what I read vbs files are to run when autocad is open and not through this.
This is an example:http://cadingandcoding.blogspot.com/2007/09/toggle-autocad-application-visibility.html

that I know the .vbs are visual basic scripts that are executed by the operating system. I don't know the connection with autocad how it can happen, but perhaps by posting a branch of the vbs code you can try to rebuild the operation.

hello and thanks for the answers,
if they work with the operating system, the autocad command to start an operating system program is:
command: shell
command os: test.vbs
I tried with the example code, created the test file.vbs
but it gives me error of syntax......
but the auto connection - os works.
Now I'm not in the office, maybe tomorrow I place the code I need.
Hi.

on error resume next
set objacad = getobject(, "autocad.application")
if err.number < > then errclear
msgbox "autocad is not currently running...!!"
on
♪
if objacad.visible = true then
objacad.visible = false
♪
objacad.visible = true
end if
end ifset objacad = nothing

on error resume next
set objacad = getobject(, "autocad.application")
if err.number <> 0 then err.clear
msgbox "autocad is not currently running...!!", vbexclamati
on
else
if objacad.visible = true then
objacad.visible = false
else
objacad.visible = true
end if
end ifset objacad = nothing

seems to be launched with a double click, while autocad is running.
seems to write about autocad environment variables.

What if you launch autocad and then double click on .vbs?

Make sure there are no antivirus or firewalls (including windows!) that can block the script.

Hi.
I also tried to double clik with autocad on, but it gives me error

Hi.
for general information on how to interact visual basic script and autocad.
I did some evidence, and I actually managed to get data to be imported in autocad like this:
turning the visual basic script file I wrote a text file,
with the lisp or with vba you read the text file with inside the data to be uploaded.

I add
you create a button with command: shell "c:\....name visual file basic script "
you turn the script, you create a text file with the values generated by the script,
read values with vba or lisp.
