You are so pretending that we have that availability.  We are going to try
some VBS stuff, but the server is *gasp* Apache.  We don't have Outlook
Expressed installed.  Maybe I'll try it as a resource from home.  We'll see.
I was just trying to find out if someone had done this easily.

Thanks.

Ah, here we go with this again.  :]  If you want a link to ~map~ a printer,
you'll have to "link" to a client-side function that does the mapping.

I suggest you open your news reader of choice, msimn.exe /outnews, for
example, setup a news account using msnews.microsoft.com, and post this in
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript.  Or, if you want to use client-side
vbscript, post to microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript.
Typically, client-side vbscript is not a good idea since only IE supports
it, but with what you're trying to do, it is unlikely it would work in any
non-IE browser anyway, since you'll have to rely on controlling zone
permissions via a policy or some other means in the IE browser.
