I am starting to understand the requirement (about right click).

If I get it right what you need is a shell extension (and not a contextual menu entry).

If this is correct, I doubt you can have it. :(

Do the following:

  1. get http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
  2. check which shell extensions you have on your system
  3. post info about one that is present on your right click menu (where/when you would like to see this script entry)

Before the above, try actually reading the initially given:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-any-application-to-the-desktop-right-click-menu-in-vista/

AND test it

I've added a couple more conditions to the function to ensure none of the fields are empty and cause an error. Is this the best way to accomplish it?

   If Len(In1.value) > 0 Then
If Len(In3.value) > 0 Then
If Len(In2.value) = 5 Then
Dim A :A=MsgBox("Is this correct?" & vbCrlf & _
"TextBox 1 Information : " & In1.value & vbCrlf & _
"TextBox 2 Information : " & In2.value & vbCrlf & _
"TextBox 3 Information : " & In3.value & vbCrlf & vbCrlf & _
"Click OK to continue," & vbCrlf & "No to start over, or" & vbCrlf & _
"Cancel to exit",4131)
If A = 6 Then
alert("Script Place Holder For Yes Actions")
ElseIf A = 7 Then
In1.value="" :In2.value="" :In3.value="" :
ElseIf A = 2 Then
window.close()
End If
Else
alert("Error: Please enter the last 5 digits of invoice number: " & In2.value)
End If
Else
alert("Error: Please enter a job type (ie.: BC, Brochure, Flyer, etc.):")
End If
Else
alert("Error: Please enter a client name:")
End If

What I use to make sure none of the textboxes have value, plus an additional check on

the Invoice Number, for a length of 5 digits.


ElseIf Len(In1.value) >= 1 And Len(In2.value) >= 1 And Len(In3.value) >= 1 Then
If Len(In2.value) = 5 Then

Nice try at coding, but you can use And or Or in If statements

Have you tried the updated HTA

So here's what I've got so far, and it seems to work on my local drive. I'm going to update the RtPath to a mapped network share and test it a bit further. Please have a look and tell me what kinds of horrible mistakes I've made.

I've added a bit of code that opens Explorer to the job folder:

Const NORMAL_WINDOW = 1
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute "explorer.exe", JPath, , , NORMAL_WINDOW

I've placed that just before JobBuilder's "End Function." How do I get the app to automatically close afterward?

Another way of opening Explorer.exe

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run("explorer.exe D:\"),1,False 

Perhaps change this area


End If

End Function
</SCRIPT>

To this


End If
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run("explorer.exe D:\"),1,False
window.close
End Function
</SCRIPT>

The above code will open Explorer without waiting for the Explorer to be closed,

it will then close the HTA. So you should be left with the Explorer window open.
