How do I run VBA over a LAN network?

[mrdoob]

My coworkers and I decided it would be funny to write a macro that would open the disc trays of all the computers on pur LAN network. We figured out how to open the disk tray on the local computer, but how can we make the other computers do it by running VBA from only one computer?

Bump

hello?

I'm a little disappointed that this thread is being completely ignored.

Perhaps no one else thinks it's funny.

Overzealous bumping can also turn a lot of people off (often can be a signal that the person asking may be impatient or demanding, and people like that often can be difficult to work with). We usually recommend that people wait one day before bumping, and only bump once a day.

I also see it as
"We figured out how to open the disk tray on the local computer, but how can we make the other computers do it by running VBA from only one computer"
could be

"We also have some malicious code we want to deploy over the LAN, but don't know how to do it. So we're asking about this harmless prank as a foot in the door"

Well, I'm sorry that you see it that way. If you like I can show you the code that we are using to open the local disk tray.

There is a pranks forum here somewhere where you are more likely to get a response.

Deploying a piece of software like that would get you walked out the door by a security guard at most major companies -- probably accompanied by the grateful cheers of your former coworkers.
