thepip3r thepip3r Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2005-03-02 Posts: 350	Problem: I need user input, IE a prompt for them to input their building number and room number. What is the easiest way to look at this WITHOUT having to have something installed across the network?? I looked at KixForms as a viable solution but it looked like my clients would need the KixForms DLL registered on all of my systems in order for those calls to be able to work correctly??? Is there some inherent function that I can prompt a user and have that input entered into a variable so I can write it to an INI file? thanx as always guys.

thepip3r thepip3r Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2005-03-02 Posts: 350	So when you're talking about IE.. are you talking about spawning a webpage that prompts the user for input? I guess I could do that, I was just hoping there would be a built-in function for acquiring user input in KiX. Oh well. Also, after I post this, I'm leaving for ID to camp. Will be back later. Just letting Les and anyone else who may post in case they ask a Q and I'm not here to respond in a timely manner. Thanx for the info Les.

With AD GPO software deployment and KiXforms now being available as an MSI, it would not be that hard to roll it out to the users. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
