Thanks Merowinger, 
to prompt the user to locate the file and email it to me, maybe the &quot;start&quot; is a less-helpful approach? Would you suggest using some kind of window popup or spawning a new email with the default email handler with the file attached? 
 
Appreciate your guidance!

Does this look like a start? My aim is to open a new email with the file attached...

Weird behavior, the new email message doesn't spawn and it also cannot find the newly created gpresult.html (the file is there, but the strAttachment path seems to be invalid?

Haven't studied the code, but this could help.

Thanks Bill! 
 
I see a similar issue my code had possessed: line 28 ref to strAttachment is not finding the file
</div>

<div>
In the strExec command line, is this really the valid path to the executable, the &quot;..&quot; in the middle seems suspect.

I changed the path to c:\windows\system32

<div>
So, are you still having a problem now?

<div>
The gpresult produces the file, but the new email message doesn't spawn
</div>

<div>
I don't see strSMTPRelay defined?

<div>
Thank you so much; I now need to find the SMTPRelay inside my company :)

Greetings, 
 
I have a bit of CMD script I would like to execute using VBS. Could you help me with how to do this in VBS: 
 
gpresult /H c:\users\%username%\desktop\gpresult.html 
start c:\users\%username%\desktop\gpresult.html 
 
Thank you!

CMD script into VBS

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
