    - how to display content on webpage only once Hi everyone, I got something weird that I want to do but cant figure out. How can I write a script either in VB or Java into an ASP webpage so that once a user visits the page and view its contents (contents displayed by label or text box) and then clicks a button afterward stating they are done viewing it, a flag or something is then set so that the contents of this page will not display anymore (even if they reopen the page in a new browser) unless I go into the code and reset the flag. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

    - Javascript vs VB Script cookie I am working on a webpage designed by ASP.NET. I am attempting to add a cookie function to poll portion of the site that will only allow users to vote once, per poll. (They wont let me use their IP to track votes) The person that made the site created a cookie using Javascript. I know nothing about Javascript. I attempted to add to a new value to the cookie but everytime the user goes to teh first page, it overwrites the information with teh javascript cookie. Is there a conflict there or have I messed up the syntax. Here is the code for the two... function createCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000)); var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); } else expires = ""; document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/"; } .... and .... If PollMentor_CanUserVote() = False Then sRet = "Sorry, you have already voted in this poll" response.write sID Else response.cookies("style")("poll") = sID ''response.cookies("style")("poll").Expires = Date + 30 response.write sID sRet = "test-Thanks for voting" strSQL = "update poll set count" & nNumber & " = count" & nNumber & " +1 where " If nNumber =-1 Then strSQL = strSQL & " active=true" Else strSQL = strSQL & " id=" & sID End If ----------------------------- This message is posted by http://asp.forumszone.com `êäJavascript vs VB Script cookieX¢tTì?·?wëü4??!¡0ê?Y¢tTì¤ÌüwÀê 3 ê0?Û6?¡²w?¡²w¸òUøw%øwháU¦wPÑ²wPÑ²w¸òá?©wéÎ«wÄ TÜ°í°í?Û6*øw?Û6?Û6ë?¸ëUøw@*øwÿÿÿÿÈëÇüw?Û6 PÑ²w?Û6|õckä?4|ëxÞ*øw?ëP'*øwH'?ëÐû*øw@ÐûÐûxë¸ëc*øw@Èë ¼Æ*øw@?¼Æ ¼Æ¤ë?@\ìUøw@*øwÿÿÿÿlìÇüw Tag: IsDate function considers "23A" as a valid date (bug?)

    - How to enable script debugging? Hi, I posted this question to the WSH newsgroup but did not get any suggestions. Cannot figure out why I suddenly lost an ability to debug scripts in WSH. I used to be able to do it by executing cscript with //D //X flags, but when I do it now, the script just runs without invoking a debugger. I set the JITDebugging (or whatever it's name is) registry value to 1 (just in case), but it still does not help. Any ideas? I am running WSH 5.6 on Win XP Pro SP 1.

    - Manipulating REG_NONE values with stdregprov or wshshell? On a domain controller, the keys below are supposed to have identical (default) REG_NONE values, and when they donâ??t, Kerberos is broken. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\PolAcDmN HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\PolPrDmN (to view anything under HKLM\Security, you need to give Administrators Full Control to the permissions on the Security key) Iâ??d like to write a script that compares those values and fixes them if needed. But Iâ??ve yet to find a way to read or write a REG_NONE value with vbscript or WMI. Reg.exe handles REG_NONE values fine, but I donâ??t want to depend on it being there since in 2000 reg.exe is in the support tools, not in the product like XP/2003. And, those values almost never get mismatched in 2003, as there were checks put in to verify they are consistent at boot. Is there a way to manipulate REG_NONE values with stdregprov or wshshell?

    - Using VBscript to Remove installed programs I have never used vbscript so I thought I would start by asking if what I want to accomplish is even possible. I would like to use vbscript to uninstall programs automatically using either Group policies or logon scripts. Most of the programs were not installed using .msi files. Is there a way to do this with vbscript? Any tips on how to do it? Thanks in advance Steve Tag: IsDate function considers "23A" as a valid date (bug?) Tag: 164161

    - Append to a Registry Value Hi, I am writing a script to update an annoying package that our company is forced to use. One of the things this script must do is to update the System Path registry key for the Environmental variables. It needs to append to the end of it but leave the rest of the path alone. I need to roll this out to 400 machines, of which most have different path variables so I cannot just blank it and insert a new one with all the usual stuff + the bit I want to put in. Can I write a VBS script to append to the end of the hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\session manager\environment\path value?

    - MouseOver event on a listbox not working on Windows 2003 Within our product, we use dynamic HTML code. One part of the functionality is to call a function on a MouseOver event on a listbox. This worked correctly on Windows 2000 systems but on Windows 2003, the function does not get called. The only workaround we have been able to find is to use the "about:blank", as a trusted site, however we are concerned at the security implications of implementing this workaround. Is there any configuration option on Windows 2003 which would allow us to execute function calls for a MouseOver event on a listbox? Tag: IsDate function considers "23A" as a valid date (bug?)

The HTML document is being loaded into a script-aware applicatoin. When I click the link, I get an error : "Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment 'ZoomToOcr'". I'm sure this is simple...but I'm fairly new to the HTML side. BTW, a couple of side issues: 1) I am only running the script from the link so I am holding the HREF="". 2) The "Set SW" line relates to the environment in which the script is running and the html page is being loaded. I've used this before and it works fine. Here's my header w/ script...followed by my <A> link section: <HTML> <HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=""Content-Type"" CONTENT=""text/html; charset=windows-1252""><META NAME=""Generator"" CONTENT=""Microsoft Word 97""></HEAD> <TITLE>OCR Search on DB Search Results</TITLE><p><p> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" TYPE="text/VBScript"> Sub ZoomToOCR(DocID, Line) Set SW=window.external SW.ZoomToOCRDoc DocID, Line, "" End Sub </SCRIPT> <A HREF="" ONCLICK=ZoomToOCR "BK000001", 21>BK000001</A> If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    - How to Authenticate to Create Local User On Remote WorkGroup Computer? Hi, First let me start by saying I'm no vbscripter but I've been doing some playing around and I'm trying to write a small vbscript that I can execute with cscript to create a local user on a remote Standalone machine. I started by creating a simple script that allows me to enter the computer name to create the account on along with the username and password of the new user account that will be created. I was able to run this script on my local machine without problems and I was also able to supply a different computer and successfully created the account after authenticating myself with net use \\remotepc /user:<Administrator> <Password> ------ strComputer = InputBox("Enter Computer Name: ", "Computer Name") strUserName = InputBox("Enter UserName: ", "User Information") strPassword = InputBox("Enter Password: ", "Password") Set Accounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & ",computer") Set objUser = Accounts.Create("user", strUserName) objUser.SetPassword strPassword objUser.Put "PasswordExpired", 1 objuser.Fullname = "Test User" objuser.description = "Test Description" objUser.SetInfo ------ So now my problem, after two days of reading, I haven't really been able to figure out how I can avoid the net use procedure and have the script authenticate and create the user on a remote standalone box. I've read that it's farily easy to authenticate a user on Active Directory using the LDAP Provider, I've been trying to do the same thing using the WinNT provider. As you can see from some good I pieced together with sames on the net. As I said before, I'm not vbscripter and I'm not sure if I'm even going in the right direction, but I hope that someone could give me some suggestions or point me to a sample script that can authenticate as a user on a remote box that isn't on the domain to perform administrative tasks.

I realize this could very since it is a rather hardware specific setting and I am guessing it would be different from Intel to Netgear. Any help is appreciated.

    - ASP Page as a remote function call in JavaScript Hello, I've been playing with the idea of just how to use an ASP page to provide a remote function call. In an ideal world this would be a web service but how can you do it if restricted to ASP 3.0 ? Idea 1 was to write an ASP page that accepted arguments using the classic ?X=1&Y=2 type of strings and have the page return an ADO disconnected record set containing the results of the action. This is call very well, and works, but you do have to allow the browser to create an ADODB.RecordSet in which to place the results which goes against some security principles. Idea 2 was to use an <IFRAME> and replace the src for this frame at run time with the result from an ASP page, again using the ?X=1&Y=2 type of string to pass in arguments. The results could then come back as a table and be accessed via the DOM. The problem with this is that the client needs to wait for the page to be loaded before it can be sure that the contents of the table is valid and the browser does not seem to allow waits and does not like busy waits. Idea 3 - I'm still looking for this ! Does anyone have any ? Many thanks Martin Tag: IsDate function considers "23A" as a valid date (bug?) Tag: 164111

    - Vbscript for database manipulation Hi all, Here is what I am trying to do, hope someone can help me implement this. Every hour, I would like a script that does the following (in vbscript cause that's the only one I am even remotely comfortable with) 1- Extract from a secure database 4 query result tables and copy them into a new unsecure database 2- Connect to the internet 3- Send the new unsecure database to our servers online 4- Close the internet connection I think I have figured out how to do step number 3 through an ftp -s: script and ftp command .txt file. My problem is really step 1, so far, I have only been able to create a new blank database, with the structures of the 4 tables receiving the query results built. I am stuck here, I can't even transfer the query results to the database, and I haven't even started looking at how to unsecure the new database, and/or tables. Does anyone know of any efficient, quick way of doing, the above? I think I can manage with steps 2 and 4, Step 1 is really my problem here.

It returns only the Internet Explorer window title. How should I modify it to return the titles of all the windows? Thanks in advance to all who respond.

    - script to create account I have a script that creates a local account on a server and puts the user in the Users group. I need it to also check the following boxes: User cannot change password and Password never expires. Here is what I have: 'Create gssrdp local user account strComputer = "MyComputer" Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & ",computer") Set objUser = colAccounts.Create("user", "gssrdp") objUser.SetPassword "password" objUser.SetInfo 'Add gssrdp user to the local Users group strComputer = "MyComputer" Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Users,group") Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/gssrdp,user") objGroup.Add(objUser.ADsPath) Any thoughts?

    - Grabbing a certain file from a networked machine Hi I have some roving colleagues with laptops who are supposed to be making backups of certain files (mostly PST) when they check back to the office. But they don't. Is there any reliable VBS way to grab a file from a laptop once the machine is hooked back onto the lan ? All these machine have a certaine name beginning with "PORT" PORT-HARRY PORT-JENNY etc I imagine it would be feasible to have a script that would run - say -every two hours on a server that would check to see if a "PORT-xxx" machine had reconnected and then scan its entire C: disk looking for PST files? Then copy them somewhere safe on the server? Could anyone please give me some ideas on how to do that ? TIA Mosalie Rignon Tag: IsDate function considers "23A" as a valid date (bug?) Tag: 164062

    - Print file to windows queue I'm looking for a way to programmatically (vbscript) to send data to a windows print queue (no user interface). The request to me was to have a web form that the user can fill out and then the web application would take this form data and send it to a print queue. I've googled several times and couldn't really find anything specific (probably just wrong keywords). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Possible to get DFS information through WMI on Windows 2000? Windows 2003 has the "Win32_DfsNode" class, and a couple of others - is there a way when using a Windows 2000 environment to get information about DFS shares? In particular, how to determine which physical server is being connected to when a DFS share is in use? ********************************************************************** Sent via Fuzzy Software @ http://www.fuzzysoftware.com/ Comprehensive, categorised, searchable collection of links to ASP & ASP.NET resources...

    - WMI query to get disk I/O and process creating files Is there a class in WMI to monitor when disk activity happens and then what process is creating the I/O to the disk? We have a server that when a file is created it is causing the drives to spin at full capacity and we cannot stop it without rebooting. We think we know what it is, but cannot be sure. So we want to monitor the disk activity and see what is causing the drives to spin at full capacity. TIA Tag: IsDate function considers "23A" as a valid date (bug?) Tag: 164055

I have discovered the IsDate function in VBScript and VBA accepts as
valid dates of the form "23A", "16A" & "23P".

The reason it accepts them is it is viewing them as the times
"23:00:00", "16:00:00" & "23:00:00" on "Saturday, December 30, 1899".

This seems odd behaviour as I haven't seen any mention in
documentation of the function taking notice of time in the date
validation routine, and "23:00:00AM" isn't really a valid time anyway.

Demonstration (from Immediate window in Access):

print IsDate("16A")
True

print IsDate("23A")
True

print IsDate("32A")
False

print CDate("23A")
23:00:00

print IsDate("24P")
False

Just posting this for anybody else that might be mystified by the
issue in future.
