how to create and execute file

Can someone point me in right direction
I want on Click of a button to open appropriate ticket in Remedy
Only way, That I can think of right now, is to create a Remedy shortcut and
then execute it.

Shortcut is a simple text file with "ARTask" extention. Sample follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Shortcut]
Name = HPD:HelpDesk
Type = 0
Server = server.name
Join = 0
Ticket = HD0000000215806
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Is it possible to that. I think it is, but I don't know how

Thanks a lot in advance

Creating the file won't be difficult. Since it's in the same format as an
INI file, you can either use the WritePrivateProfileString API (Randy Birch
has a good example at http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/file/pprofilebasic.htm ) or
you can simply use the VBA Print # statement.

Assuming you've got such a file, can you run it simply by double-clicking on
it? If so, then you should be able to invoke it using the ShellExecute API
(see http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm for an example)

Hi Douglas,

By digging deeper into Internet found how to create file but execution was
tough to find.

You assumption was correct, I could launch it by doubleclicking, so your
solution worked perfectly for me.

BIG thank you
