When you need to create input forms, HTML Applications (HTAs) can be a near-perfect solution, as I explain in "Hooked on HTAs," August 2005, InstantDoc ID 46795. With just a little practice, you can create HTAs like the one I'm going to show you. This fully functional sample form, which I've named User Quota Utility, lets you set and display disk quotas on local and remote Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP computers. Even if you don't use quotas, this form is a useful example of how to develop administrative utilities by using an HTA and VBScript. If you use Windows 2003 or XP but haven't enabled quotas, you can do so (by using the Properties dialog box) on a local disk so that you can try out this sample HTA. In that situation, don't select the Deny disk space to users exceeding quota limit check box. If you select that check box, you might accidentally deny a user the ability to write to disk if the quota is exceeded. (For information about using quotas, see the Microsoft article "Managing Disk Quotas in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP" at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/win2003/quotas.mspx.) . . .
