What is the extent of the DX script? Can I open a eplorer window in a certain location at a certain size? If I wanted to write a script that accesses a on line database for a compant that wants a DX for thier workers or subscribers, can it be done?

Is the script javascript based? C++, Visual Basic??

DXscript uses Microsoft' ActiveScripting technology. Scripts can be written in any language implemented as an Active Scripting language. This means VBScript and JScript. ActiveState also has an ActiveScript implementation of Perl as well.

While you could use ADO in the script to access databases you'd use that primarly for DBs on your desktop such as Access or a DB Server on your LAN such as MS SQL Server.

Most online stuff is either exposed as web pages (in which case you need to screen scrape it to get the info you want without the graphics) or as an XML interface (either homegrown XML specification, XML-RPC, or SOAP).

Guess I better get my VB script book out. I was hoping it was C++.



I was also hoping I could use Javascript. I heard that Microsoft's Jscript is like Javascript. I should learn Jscript considering that I want o design Windows Media Player "stuffs".
