ActiveXObject + JSCript: automation server error

[Kara Melba]

Hi,

in my JSCript i need a input box or a file dialog to get a file name.
These statements raise "automation server can't create object" errors:
var vbe = new ActiveXObject("ScriptControl");
var openFileDialog = new ActiveXObject("MsComDlg.CommonDialog");

Reading from File System (with hard coded filename is working fine:
var  objStream     = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");

So why can't i open a input box? Do you have any ideas?

Thanx a lot!

Similar problem here - MS seem to have deprecated the library with Vista and later versions of Windows.  I'm in the market for a replacement.  Still hunting, though.

There is a function in the Repository object that displays a file dialog and returns the file path string

Repository.InvokeFileDialog (string FilterString, long Filterindex, long Flags)
