Hello

I have a button in a userform, and i want to do the following : When i clicked , reads the computername in a textbox ( in this case Textbox20 ) , and executes a file in a specific location ( \\servername\folder\file.vbs ) in background
All The computernames are in the same domain

When i access via RDP assistance to the compuername , i can run the \\servername\folder and execute the file , but want to try to execute without accessing via assistance
Is it possible to make or is it impossible ?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Your request sounds nefarious in nature ... even though you may possibly have the best of intentions in your request. I find it doubful you'll receive any useful
assistance to your request as it has the same 'flavor' as someone asking how to break a passcode to a workbook.

My $.02 cents ...

Logit , i know it's sounds strange , but it's the best of intentions .

I will explain , the company has strict policie , and every time a user makes logon in a computer , it starts run a network script , to map the printers , network drives , etc
Bu sometimes , a printer isn't map by some reason . To solve this , and the users don't how to do it , we have to access remotely to the computer and execute the script again , to see if the printer is mapped again

Since i have an excel VBA to monitor all the network printers ( check toner , see if they are online , etc ) , i was trying to add this button , to simple execute the network vbs without accessing remotely to the user's computer.

Best regards
