Hey Teropod,

 

With ActiveX, you can do almost anything you want. It is just currently  set up to have a dialog box. I believe you will want to change the original invoke node to Open Inspection instead of Show Inspection Dialog. Then you should be able to wire a filepath to the variant control.

 

I'll look into it some more if this doesnt work for you.

The above post was for LabVIEW...

 

Sorry about that, missed the VB part. Anyway, you are controlling a method, which is going to vary depending on what method you want to invoke. Same thing applies in VB.

I noticed that no answer was provided here. In case others are looking for this solution, you can open an inspection directly by replacing NIVBAITarget1.ShowOpenInspectionDialog with NIVBAITarget1.OpenInspection("c:\folder\file.vbai") where folder and file are the location and name of the script you are running.
