About this Article:
In "Integrate Windows Scripting and FileMaker Pro" in the April/May 2003 issue (pro-level subscribers can read this article in its entirety online at http://Advisor.com/doc/12001), the author showed you how to use VBscript to interact with the operating system and other applications. That article took you beyond batch files so you could get the most from Windows automation. In this article, he takes a closer look at those batch files and what they can do for you. To be more precise, he demonstrates how you can use all the functionality of batch files (even creating and deleting them) without the deployment hassles.
