For those progs where I download a CAB, I want to write a >macro with Macro Express Pro to simply copy it to my device for >subsequent manual execution. I see two possible solutions 1) A DOS BATch script that uses Scot Seligman's RAPITools to copy one CAB file to the appropriate place. It could even make the CAB file read-only before copying 2) A small program that uses RAPI to copy a CAB file, make it read-only, and "run" it. This would run on your "desktop" (other end of ActiveSync). ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).
