    - Where can I ask for help with javascript ? Hi, Not sure if this is the correct forum, but this is my question. The following script (onblur) will validate a field for it to be (mm/dd/yyyy), if user enters the date in such format then user is allowed to go to the next field, otherwise displays an alert. The problem with the script is that if user just leaves field blank it still displays the alert, I need to tweak it so that when user leaves the field blank nothing happens. Perhaps some master in Javascript could help out ? This is the code -------- <script type="text/javascript">  </script> --------- Thanks in advance, Alejandro Tag: Script for scanning the structure of AD Tag: 197537

    - Excel scripting Hi, I have written a script that reads value from Excel & "should terminate" when blank cell is encountered. However, even the script that is posted on the site does not get terminated "immediately" when the blank cell or row is encountered. It terminates only after the blank row is passed for one time. How can i make the script terminate "immediately" when it encounters blank row. It should not read that row at all. Following is a sample script from the site : ========= Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open _ ("C:\Scripts\New_users.xls") intRow = 2 Do Until objExcel.Cells(intRow,1).Value = "" Wscript.Echo "CN: " & objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value Wscript.Echo "sAMAccountName: " & objExcel.Cells(intRow, 2).Value Wscript.Echo "GivenName: " & objExcel.Cells(intRow, 3).Value Wscript.Echo "LastName: " & objExcel.Cells(intRow, 4).Value intRow = intRow + 1 Loop objExcel.Quit ============= Any help on terminating immediately after it encounters blank row would be much appreciated. thanks in advance ...

    - Multilingual support in Len method Hi, I am writing a website that should support Hebrew & English (as well as other languages). I need to know the simple character count (not byte count!) of a string. When I am using the Len(str) method (with string variable as input), I receive the following: - English strings return the exact number of characters. - Hebrew strings return the UTF-8 byte count. I would like to know the number of characters in the string in both cases, in order to cut long strings, but actually Hebrew strings are cut differently than English strings. I am aware of the fact that all strings are UNICODE, but I am not interested in their byte count - only character count. Thanks, Gabi Tag: Script for scanning the structure of AD Tag: 197528

    - logon script for an examination account In Alberta, high schools have what are called diploma exams. Some of these exams are written on computer. The basic setup is that students log on to a generic account. That account then loads a Word file called dipoma.doc. Diploma.doc has a footer. The students replace the line XXXXXX in the footer with their six digit student id. Then, they are told to use Save-As to give the file a uniqe name. The word doc also automatically saves every five minutes and is formatted with a specific font and size and double line spacing. We used to have the students save to a directory called diploma on the local drive. But then I had to make another script to delete the diploma directory on each computer after each exam. Also, we have now put Deep Freeze on the computers and some of the computers don't have a 'thaw space'. So, what I'd like to do is create a server share like \\server\diploma$. I know how to set up the share and ntfs settings so students can save to that directory and only see their doc. But I'm wondeering if it would be easy, as the students logon with the generic account of 'diploma', to create a vbscript that: 1. asks the students to input their student id 2. then creates a directory in \\server\diploma$ named by their student id. 3. copies the diploma.doc to the student's sub directory and renames it XXXXXX.doc (their student id obviously) 4. then opens the doc for the students to start witting the exam Thanks, Jeremy Tag: Script for scanning the structure of AD Tag: 197522

    - cscript I am new to using cscript and am trying to debug a script. I can start the debugger using a command like "cscript //x myscript.vbs". That seems to work fine and the debugger stops on the line that has a problem and asks me if I wish to Break or Continue. (I always choose Break). My question is that when I use the Stop Debugging menu option, I get a window asking me whether I want another instance of the debugger or use the existing instance. No matter which I choose, my script is restarted in that instance and continually stops on the bad statement. In essence, it appears that there is a loop that will not allow the original debugger instance to stop and allow me to edit the offending statement. Is this "normal" or am I missing something?

    - GPO script to create new System DSN Hi, I am having trouble with a GPO Login script that is suppose to create a new DSN connection for a SQL database, and it gets pushed to 700 plus PCs in a WAN, that are either XP Pro SP2 or Win2000 SP?. Here are the first five lines of the script, and it seems to error out on the 5th line, for some users, but when connected as with and install admin account (that pushes nothing) and run from explore, it accomplishes what it needed. Sorry I don't have the error, but it says something about the driver location. Can someone tell me is there a better way to write that line, or even this whole process?? OR can anyone tell me what they think might be the cause of an error like this, that only happens for some users, and then works for admin Dim oWshShell Const cRegKey1 = "HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\NewSQL\" Const cRegKey2 = "HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources\" Set oWshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") oWshShell.RegWrite cRegKey1 & "Driver","C:\%systemroot%\System32\sqlsrv32.dll" Tag: Script for scanning the structure of AD Tag: 197414

    - Modifying AD users with an INPUT file HI all, what I am trying to do is modify users profile tab properties with an input file. The input file holds the User account names where as the script will just be hardcoded with the changes. I have a scirpt that queries group membership based on user input and then generates a file with all users in that group. Here is an example of the file. HS1USER1 HS1USER2 HS1USER3 HS1USER4 HS1USER5 Now I I am trying to get a script that will modify the user profile tab for the users in this file. Here is what I have so far. option explicit Const ForReading = 1 Dim objconnection,objcommand,objRecordset,fso, InputFile,struser,strDN,objuser Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set InputFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\Temp\scripts\ADmember\hs1.txt", ForReading, False) 'Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _ '("C:\Temp\scripts\ADmember\hs1.txt", ForReading) Do until InputFile.AtEndOfStream Set struser = Trim(InputFile.ReadLine) wscript.echo struser Const ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE = 2 Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject" objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider" Set objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000 objCommand.Properties("Searchscope") = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE objCommand.CommandText = _ "SELECT distinguishedName FROM 'LDAP://dc=NHC' WHERE objectCategory='user'" & _ "AND SAMAccountName=" & struser Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute objRecordSet.MoveFirst Do Until objRecordSet.EOF strDN = objRecordSet.Fields("distinguishedName").Value objRecordSet.MoveNext Loop Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDN) Wscript.Echo objUser.Name objUser.Put "profilePath", "\\sea-dc-01\Profiles\myerken" objUser.Put "scriptPath", "logon.bat" objUser.Put "homeDirectory", "\\sea-dc-01\HomeFolders\myerken" objUser.Put "homeDrive", "H:" objUser.SetInfo loop InputFile.Close I am not sure to be honest if I am on the right track or not.

    - basic help to run an application from WSH hello, Apologies for such a basic question, but I've looked everywhere and nothing is helping. I'm just learning vbscript for wsh and here is my first script, saved in file "<file>.vbs": Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "<file path of file.vbs>" Where <...> is a full file path such as "c:\documents and settings\[...]" etc. When I run this by selecting the file I always get a Script: <script file path> Line: 2 Char: 1 Error: THe system cannot find the file specified. Code: 80070002 Source: (null) However if I just move the file to c:\, so the path is "c:\<file>" the file opens. Also if I cut and paste the exact file path from the script into the Run box on the start menu, the file opens. Any help with this? Many thanks.

    - Using a Variable To Run A Function Dear VBS Experts, I'm trying to do something that I'm not sure is possible, so any experienced input would be helpful. Basically, I have a web app that is designed to accept user input. Based on the input, several variables are sent to a central coordinating function (the vbs code will either be on the ASP page itself, but more likely part of a COM+ object). One of the variables that will be passed to this coordinating function is a number that represents a certain piece of code that needs to be run against the remaining variables. However, I want the code to reside in seperate .vbs files that are not part of the application. The central function reads an .ini sub task file that will show (based on the number in the first variable) the path to the .vbs file to run when processing the input. It probably sounds a little crazy already, but my purpose in this special case is so that I can keep the actual source code (for a growing and dynamic list of functions that I call sub-tasks), completely seperate from the ASP application and any COM+ registered modules. My delimma is to find a way to effectively call the individual .vbs files, run them against the variables that were passed to the coordinating function in the ASP page, and return any results from these .vbs files to the ASP application. So far, I don't know of any way that I can use a returned result from a function (such as the path to the .vbs file returned from the sub task .ini file) to run another function by name, even if it was a registered COM+ object. So it seems that my only alternative is to call the .vbs files and run them against the variables using the shell command. In doing so, is there any way that I can return any error codes generated by the various .vbs files that run? For example, if I shell the variables to a CreateADGroup.vbs file from the coordinating function, is it able to return Active Directory specific error codes or will it only return general error codes related to the shell? Any other ideas in ways of running, what you might call "off-line code", from a sentral code function would be helpful. My only requirment is that the actual task specific code be located in seperate .vbs files that do not require them to be registered in COM+ modules. In some respects, running these sub tasks in seperate threads has some advantages in terms of distributed processing etc. If anyone has some thought on how I can accomplish this, I'm all ears.

    - using AbsolutePosition to take an action Suppose you have a recordset, and a table where you show all the "lines" of the recordset. But you don't want to show a record, let's say the first. Or maybe you want to show an additional text for that record (including a new "<tr></tr> before the record for example) No matther what the action would be, the thing is to make an action. My idea was: If pobjRs_LinInc.AbsolutePosition = 1 Then ' action End If But it does'nt work.Well, I just can't figure out how to use correctly this property.
