The statement in an asp page:

dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

now gives this error:
VB err= 424,Object required

I believe it stopped working in July 2004 after a security update. I have
re-registered the appropriate dlls and ocxs.

Does anyone have an idea? I am trying to use this object so that I can
execute a batch file that was created earlier in the program.

Thanks!

Try this instead:

dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Oops, you said asp. Try using Server.CreateObject.

Then you probably want to try reposting this in one of the developer groups
that are specific to asp and/or vbscript.
