Hi.

I've coded an HTA using JScript. The first part of the HTA opens a program (activexobject) that gets user to fill out the survey (information stored in an xml). After the survey, another activexobject is opened, call it ANAobject, which analyzes the responses from the survey. After analysis, the ANAobject closes and graphs/tables show up in the HTA.

The survey gathers THREE different sets of responses from the user. the ANAobject cannot analyze the 3 sets simultaneously, so they have to be analyzed one after the other. Furthermore, because the ANAobject is still a beta-release and very nascent, there's not 'exit' function and slows down if you run too many analyses in the same window. Thus, after analysis of each set of data, I have to open a new activexobject and do the analysis.

Now my question is..how do i run the 2nd and 3rd analyses in the background?
That is, after i the analysis of the 1st set of data, i want to be able to look at the graphs and stuff in the HTA while the analyses of the other two sets run in the BACKGROUND in the ANAobject. right now.. i can't loko at graphs and stuff in the HTA until the other two are down because the script does not continue until that is done...


Oops forgot to mention that the HTA is not intended for web-use and is based solely on my machine. that is, users will be using it under my supervision on my computer (its part of an interview).


thanks
