Hello again.
I would like to ask the wizards about a small problem that is wasting some of my time.
We have installed Directory Opus on some computers at work and we use many common scripts. My issue is that any time I change something on a script I have to go around and replace manually the previous script on all machines. Is there any way to have the scripts executed from a single network location so I only have to make the changes once?
Thank you in advance
Try calling them with dopusrt.exe.

Thank you very much for the prompt help. Sorry I couldn't answer earlier to thank you.
I am trying to make it work with some VBScripts that use resources but still haven't manage to.
I have saved my script as a vbs file and tried to have the resources in the same file separated by "==SCRIPT RESOURCES" as I have seen in some other threads but I have the feeling I am way off and lack some understanding.
I have managed to make the Dopusrt work with internal directory opus commands though.
Do you have any insight to share?
Can we see the script / file?
How are you running it?
Where is it stored?
My script is the wall of text below.

</resources>That has multiple ==SCRIPT RESOURCES <resources> ... </resources> sections, which looks wrong.
Assuming it works without the resources, that's probably where the problem is.
While in Customize mode, you can drag a button to a folder to create a .dcf file containing it (which can then be run by double-clicking the .dcf file, or dragged back to a toolbar). That's the easiest way to turn a button into a file, and doesn't require any manual editing.
I messed the whole copy paste thing.
Thank you Leo that really helped and it worked flawlessly with the .dcf file which I managed to call with dopusrt
I guess I had a brain fart to not think of that.
Thank you both for your help.
