    - detect if a sidebar panel is open in IE I am using this script to open sidepanels in IE: <script language="VBScript"> set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") bReturn = objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{FF059E31-CC5A-4E2E-BF3B-96E929D65503}", true) </script> but I can only open panels, not close them, because I don't know how to detect whether a panel is already open. I'd like to have it this way: if panel=open then objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{FF059E31-CC5A-4E2E-BF3B-96E929D65503}", true) else objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{FF059E31-CC5A-4E2E-BF3B-96E929D65503}", false) end if Is it possible to detect the state of side bars in IE? If yes, please provide the necessary code. Tag: Error message Tag: 194892

    - Using Run to access Start Is there a way to use WScript.Shell's Run method to invoke Start? The reason is that I want to get ahold of a pseudo-hidden environment variable, %cmdcmdline%. For example, if (on Win XP) at the Cmd window you type: SET XY=%cmdcmdline% SET you will see how that cmd window was invoked (simply typing echo %cmdcmdline% might lead to odd results). Start has the characteristic, that it will preserve the environment variable settings. Thus, if at the Cmd window you type: START cmd.exe SET XYZ=%cmdcmdline% SET you'll see that the results are the same as for the original Cmd window. That is why I would like to be able to use CreateObject('WScript.Shell')->Run to invoke Start. However, Run seems not to know about Start. Any ideas? Or perhaps someone has a better method? I've tried Set aEnv=CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Environment("Process") then aEnv('cmdcmdline'), aEnv('=cmdcmdline'), and friends without success.

    - move program window location after opening I would like to open a program window, example the command prompt and move its location on the screen. I would like to move it to the left corner or right corner of the screen.

    - Help with Permission Denied Hi Folks, Need a hand here. I just got a new Car Stereo that takes SD cards, but the file format is WAY different than what Windows Media player synchs to the cards. I'm trying to read a .m3u playlist file and take each song and copy it to the SD card in a 8 character folder name of the play list. I keep getting "Permission Denied" errors. The music lives on a server in my house and I'm attempting to copy mp3 over the network to my SD card local to my client by double clicking on the .vbs file. Here is the script so far: (PS, it's not optimized, or cleaned up) ------ Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim PlayListName Dim SFNPlayListName Dim PlayListFile Dim SDCardDrive ' Changable Playlist Options PlayListName = "Driving Trax" PlayListFile = "\\server\Music\Playlists\Driving.m3u" SFNPlayListName = "DRVNG" SDCardDrive = "G:" 'Check to see if the target exists, if it does, delete it DestDir = SDCardDrive & "\" & SFNPlayListName If objFSO.FolderExists(DestDir) Then Set DelFolder = objFSO.GetFolder (DestDir) DelFolder.Delete End If 'Re create the folder and prep for copy Set MakeFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(DestDir) Const ForReading = 1 Set plFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(PlayListFile, ForReading) Do Until plFile.AtEndOfStream txtLine = plFile.ReadLine If Len(txtLine) <> 0 Then If Left(txtLine, 1) <> "#" Then 'Wscript.Echo ("Copy " & txtLine & " to " & DestDir) If ObjFSO.FileExists(txtLine) Then Set ws = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell") ObjFSO.CopyFile txtLine, DestDir ' Permission Denied here! End If End If End If Loop plFile.close Wscript.Quit ----- I labelled the line I get permission denied on, I can't for the life of me figure out why, because if I take the commented "echo" line and copy and paste it into a CMD window, it works fine. Moreover, if I replace that permission denied line with: Call ws.run("cmd.exe /c copy " & Chr(34) & txtLine & Chr(34) & " " & DestDir & "\") It works fine (although it opens up about 80 CMD windows and freezes explorer until the copy is complete). Any idea why I'm getting permission denied here? Does the WSH block access to copy files (I was able to delete above?!?) or something? Thanks for the help! Sean Tag: Error message Tag: 194877

    - sendkey ENTER to a remote computer I need to send an enter key to a remote computer. I would prefer not having a vbscript on the remote if possible. I understand there are a few ways of doing this so any and all suggestion are welcome. I am running windows xp and need vbs code to sendkey ENTER to 50 computers on a network. I tried creating a file on the remote machine located at "C:\Script\SendEnter.vbs" to try and run remotely because i understand it is not possibly to sendkeys remotely but I cant seem to launch it. I was also thinking about dynamically creating script and running it on the the remote but I can't seem to get an application to run interactively on a remote machine either. this code works. On the remote machine, a "notepade.exe" process is running but there is no visible notepad to interact with. So I was unable to run a vbs file to send the Enter Key using this approach. strComputer = "RmoteMachine" Set objReg=GetObject( _ "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\CIMV2:Win32_Process") result = objReg.Create ("notepad.exe", null, null,procID) I have also tried the following which returns an activeX object error. set oController = CreateObject("WSHController") set oProcess = oController.CreateScript ("C:\Script\SendEnter.vbs", strComputer) oProcess.Execute While oProcess.Status <> 2 WScript.Sleep 100 WEnd WScript.Echo "Done" All I would like to do is send an ENTER key to an active popup window on a remote machine during a login.

    - Session Variables in Firefox Hello, I am using ASP/VBScript. For some reason, Firefox will not pass my session variables, while IE and Netscape will. I can't imagine what's wrong. I was able to recreate the problem with the two test pages below. I tested these pages in the three aformentioned browsers: FFTEST1.ASP <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Page 1</title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0"> <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> </head> <body> <% Session("fftest") = "Hello!" %> <p><a href="fftest2.asp">Go to second page >>></a></p> </body> </html> FFTEST2.ASP <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Page 2</title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0"> <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> </head> <body> <% = Session("fftest") %> </body> </html> What could the problem possibly be? Thanks for any help you can give. Chris Smith Tag: Error message Tag: 194776

    - How to run a Script using the System account I'm trying to run a script to find out the ACL for all the folders on oneof my file servers, but since I also dont have access on some of the folders like finance and HR, the script fails. The only way I can think of without changing the permissions on the HR and Finance folders is to run the script using the builtin SYSTEM account. If anybody know how to run a script using the system account, please let me know. Cheers Arvind Tag: Error message Tag: 194769

    - Open Folder Location Using HTA I've never had a problem opening a folder location until this one. The location I want to open is: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files The two methods I would typically use are below. Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") objShell.Run "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" -- OR -- Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") ShellRun = objShell.Run ("%comspec% /c Start "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files", 0, 1) I understand its due to the spacing in Temporary Internet Files as the path can be written: C:\DOCUME~1\tmaynard\LOCALS~1\Temporary Internet Files. I either need an environmental variable I've overlooked, a way to include spaces (all my attempts at single quotes don't work) or another method all the way around.

    - mssqlserver scripting Does anyone know if there is a scripting object that allows you to interface with Microsoft SQL Server? I would like to query such things as the number of SQL instances, and the location of their logfiles. A similar object to the one for IIS (IIS://LocalHost/W3svc) would be ideal.

    - Variable not being passed Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. We have change all our login scripts to vbscripts instead of batch files. All works great except on two machines. They get an error saying cannot find netlogon because the script has strDomainServer =%logonserver%\netlogon on one of the lines. The thing is, I can do a Start-Run %logonserver%\netlogon and it opens the folder on the domain controller just fine. I changed the script to strDomainServer =\\"mydomain.com", but that won't work either, but I think it might be getting hungup on a different variable now. For whatever reason, it doesn't appear that the machine can pass the variable info on (ie. computer name, user name). Does anyone have any suggestions? I could reformat the machines, but would rather fix the problem. Thanks! Tag: Error message Tag: 194762

    - Help needed for a script Hi, I need some help for writing a script. My problem is this. I have a pile of 200 or so floppy disks. I have to get all the contents from each disk into a separate folder on a hard drive. I have looked at the floppies some of them have Volume names and some of them don't. I would like to keep the volume name if it exists and use it for naming the folder. I suspect that maybe some od the floppies have identical volume names and so I mus t have away to differenciate between any two floppies (and folders) which would have the same name. I think that adding a timestamp to the name of the folder would be OK. I have looked at the floppies - again - some of them have viruses !! and some of them don't. So this is what I'd like to do. 1. Put the floppy in the floppy drive. 2. Click on a vbscript that would Read the voulume name Run my AV programme to scan for viruses and let me deal with any bad things Make a new unique folder on the hard drive XCopy a:\*.* /s with all subfolders and hidden and system files to the new unique folder. Give me a yell when it's done! 3. Ask for anew floppy and start over again Maybe I should deal with the viruses first and then run a simpler script that would just copy ? Anyway, any help appreciated. TIA AMD Tag: Error message Tag: 194760

    - Wscript.Shell Issue Hi, I use the following vbscript for opening the documents in their respective exe's i.e., a .doc file in WINWORD.exe and a.txt file in Notepad.exe. <script language=VBScript> Sub ShowFiles(fileLink) Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") objShell.Run fileLink End Sub </script> fileLink - The path comes from the Database For this script to work properly, I have enabled the ActiveX controls settings in the Internet Explorer - Tools options. As per our design, on the click of an image that lies next to the document name column in a Datagrid, the document should open in the intended exe. But this does not happen all the time. Sometimes it opens the document but most of the time it throws a script error as "The System cannot find the specified file path.". But if I take the path from "View Source" property and place it in the "Run Window" I am able to access the file. Please help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance. -- Samba!

    - ASPX, VBScript, JavaScript, Double-Underscored Variables and setTimeOut That subject packs a whallop, so let me explain in better detail what's happening and how it relates to ASPX pages... In a [large] nutshell, if the first <script /> on a page is of type "text/vbscript", you cannot use inline JavaScript statements that call setTimeout with functions that start with a double-underscore. This is very relavant to ASPX (ASP Dot Net) pages because it means that AutoPostBacks will fail since they generally call the famous JavaScript statement "__doPostBack(...)" via a setTimeout call. If you include a VBScript code block before any other code block on an ASPX page, the following statement will fail in IE (and the error is far from obvious since it is untrappable and says only that there is an Invalid character on line 1, character 2): "javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'anyASPXcontrol\',\'\')', 0)" This is a bug in IE 6 and possibly earlier versions (I only have v6 to play with.) I do not know if it affects IE 7 as I have not installed that for testing lately. Note that even though the prefix of "javascript:" is used, the setTimeout function assumes it's calling a VBScript function, presumably because the first script block is a VBScript block. Here is a very simple page that shows this bug: http://www.digitolle.net/news/testscriptbug.htm and here is the source code: -------- <html> <head> <title>Test Script Bug</title>  <script type="text/vbscript"> ' Just because this VBScript block exists, ' setTimeout uses VBScript naming conventions. ' Therefore, double underscore functions will fail ' Rem this block out, and both buttons will work ' Note that calling the function directly always works. </script> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function __x() { alert("test"); } </script> <input type="button" value="This will Work" onclick="javascript:__x();" /> <br /> <input type="button" value="This will Fail" onclick="javascript:setTimeout('__x()', 0);" /> </body> </html> -------- The obvious workaround is to always include a JavaScript block before any VBScript blocks, even if it's just an empty block. If anyone else comes up with the same results on this test, please let me know. Of course if this is a known issue and I'm beating a dead horse, again, please let me know because it's an odd issue to look up and it's definitely a brain stumper if you don't know it exists.

    - RegExp Prob Hi, I try to achieve the following and have some probs with the REGEXP. I read a text file into an array, and look for part of a string , like 'AAAA' , I know that there are 2 instances of this string in the file. The found string itself looks like 'AAAA1234' where AAAA can be any A-Z , and 1234 any numeric sign. I have to replace this found instances 'AAAA' with 'BBBB9876' f.ex Problem is , that sometimes there can be 3 digits or 4, so I wanted to use a regexp , to find the numeric values and replace them. How to do this ? (I can post the script, if that helps) thx for any suggestion. -- Rom Tag: Error message Tag: 194743

    - How to create text file based on variable name. Hi All, I'm trying to create a text file based on the results of a command.

    - logging when launched from current version\Run I have a couple vbs scripts using wscript that run on a timed loop the monitor processes and data records. When I run them manually I am able to log progress using objFSO.OpenTextFile("./xxx.log", ForAppending, True). However, when I add these to the registry Windows\Current Version\Run key to launch at logon, they function, but the logging fails. I imagine this has to do with runas permissions.

    - Shortcut target issue Hello, I have a shortcut that I created for a secured Access(2002) DB. In order to keep people from having to join the workgroup associated, it's recommended that you create a shortcut and use the /wrkgrp switch in the target. My target line in the shorcut looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Desktop\Databases\SecSCM_DB.mdb" /wrkgrp "S:\SCM\Private\SCM_DB\Datafiles\Secured.mdw" My problem is that I have discovered about 10 different paths to the Access.exe on different PC's on the network. Each time I tell someone to copy the shortcut to their desktop, I get a call stating that it doesn't work and I end up having to make a trip to someone's desk to manually change the target. 1. Can't a script be written to determine the path to the .exe on a client pc? 2. Can the script be run from the server, do the above and place a shortcut on the users desktop with the correct path to the exe and keep the db file and switch part of the target intact? Ultimate goal is to just have anybody who wants this database to be able to nav to the server, click on the script and a shortcut is placed on their desktop for them. All of the PCs have Windows XP. Just different versions of Office installed. I read a thread that was similar to this but the links to the answers did not work for me. So I don't know if it answers my question. Thanks for any help on this. Tag: Error message Tag: 194736

I have created a kixform login script (I've also posted this question on the
kixforms board). The form contains a hyperlink to the H: drive and a
hyperlink to the S: drive. The first time I click either I get an error
message simillar to:

Windows cannot find 'ldist,:1588:4064,h:\' Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click on the Start
button, and then click search.

After I click on OK and then reclick on the link, everything works fine.

Has anyone experienced anything simillar to this?

Thanks,
Jeremy
