    You're mixing client-side with server-side....

    "MsgBox" won't work in ASP as it would be displayed
    on the server for which there is no comsole.

    VBScript on the client-side won't work in all browsers.

    The "action=" of a form element is a server-side
    form handler -- not a subroutine or function.
    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html

    The "<select>" statement must appear inside of the form.

    What are you really trying to do?

    Here's a version that displays the selected country on top of
    the the selection list if one was picked before hitting Submit.


    <%@ Language="VBScript" %>
    <% Option Explicit
    Dim strSEL
    strSEL = Request.Form("country")
    If strSEL <> "" Then Response.Write(strSEL)
    %>
    <html>
    <body>
    <form action="" method="post">
    <select name="country">
    <option value="" selected="selected">Select Country</option>
    <option value="United States">United States</option>
    <option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>

    A Google of "Dynu.Exec" found this:

    DynuExecT ASP Component
    http://www.dynu.com/dynuexec.asp

    "Using this component you can execute any DOS commands
    and and start up windows applications from within your ASP
    pages and get the entire result as a string."

    "DynuExecT has been tested to be 100% compatible with
    IIS 4.0/5.0, Personal Web Server(PWS) running on all versions
    of Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP."

    However, it doesn't say that it is compatible with IIS 6.0 --
    what IIS version are you running?

    Not sure why you need it..

    Also, it refers to your C: drive which may not be available
    under ASP -- that's probbaly your permission issue.

    Yep, sorry - I realize I didn't explained it clearly
    This is what I need:
    I need a web page with a select form and a button, and when I press
    the button I need to execute a script server-side passing the
    selection as first command line parameter
    This is supposed to run on XP (IIS 5.1) and 2003 (IIS 6.0)

    I found this component to execute server-side, because I made a few
    tries with the Vbscript Run method of the Wshell object but I wasn't
    able to do that (it's explained here but I'm not able to make it work:
    http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general...-from-asp.html
    )

    Hum, this is a problem..

    What can I put instead of C: ?

    Did you see the part in the above referenced page that states:
    "If you receive the following error:" re "Permission denied "?

    Probably not -- but maybe...

    > What can I put instead of C: ?

    Either change your IIS configuration to allow access to your C: drive
    (not recommended) or move the executable under your web server's root.
