    - RSLinx and asp. I need a help (either pointers to where to post this message,or actual pointers on my problem). I'm getting very frustrated in here. I decided to write the interface between RSLinx and microsoft IIS. It seems that every time I'm almost there I stumble on yet another ?GOT YOU !!!'. I'm beginning to think that it is simply impassible to create the .asp page which will be able to post or get the data to and from RSLinx. (all the processing to be done on the web server) There are a dozens of activex components that could be utilized for this function, but to me it looks like those components have no right to work insight the .asp page this is why (and please correct me if I'm wrong pointing me to the resource o the web which proves it ) : 1.OPC is riding on top of the DDE. 2.Every call made from the asp page is running in it's own memory space without the actual application space. Which means that it can not communicate with the DDE or OPC server running under the different memory space. (even if it runs as the service) I think that most of the ActiveX components are designed to interface with the DDE/OPC servers running and accessible from within the same program and application space. And because of that, all of them are functioning perfectly well when called from within the client application running on the desktop with the forms, and text boxes behind. I have not seen one single working example on the call from within the asp page running on the Microsoft server which has the OPC/DDE server installed on it. I have created a simple DDE to RSLinx ActiveX control using the VB6 build DDE support . Worked fine on the client did not work in the asp. Then I created the ActiveX control that talks to the RSLinx over the DDE using the DDClient controls ? no problem works fine as the client VB application, refuses to work as the asp. So at the end I have build the VB6 ActiveX dll which was using the RSLinx objects. Again the same problem ? goes ?belly up' if called from within the asp, perfectly fine from the application running on the console. Before I waste any more time and invest any $ for the third party components that claim to work I would like to ask the ?world' to prove me that I'm wrong and interfacing RSLinx to the WWW is realy passible. (some simple working and tested code will be much appreciated) I'm willing to start a new project and distribute the code under the GPL if needed. And please reply to the post and only if you know that the information is corect. What I found is that there is a lot of the answers to the usenet groups which are not productive. /Babak babak at op.pl PS. I want to let you know that I even went as far as reconfiguring the account under which my IIS is running so it is not I_USR anymore. I even made the new www service account as the administrator of the box, I logged in to the server with that account ( so the registry is populated for that user). In my activex component class I also created a basic function that returns some values ? in order to test the correct component registration. I can still make the ADO and FS references but every time any type of the reference to RSLinx or DDE happens it goes belly up. I have no $ to spend on the RSLinx SDK, and quite frankly I'm affrait that even if I spend those $ I will still be in the same point which I'm in right now.

    - Identifying Platform at logon Does anyone know of a way to identify that the PC being logged on to is a Windows NT 4.0 server? We have VB scripts that we do not want running at logon whenever the PC is a Windows NT (or Windows 2000) server. Is there something in the registry, for example that can be read that will identify the PC as a server Russell-S Tag: Strange Characters in file Tag: 157332

    - tool to show all sql from Access DB (ADO)? Does anyone have vbscript to report all the Query names and full sql statements in an Access DB? I'm not particularly interested in any report related sql just for those found in the query window. I have many Access databases and sometimes need to document what they contain or to look for queries using certain tables. Access also can contain stored procedures. Is it possible to read this sql also? Even though the database may contain some it doesn't appear to be visible anywhere. thanks LJB Tag: Strange Characters in file Tag: 157328

    - ASP Treeview SQL Server - URGENT NEED! Hello. I am trying to find a NON .NET answer to using a treeview control with ASP. I am able to use this contror without issue in VB but ASP presents an entirely different set of isssues. I can get the treeview to populate based upon my recorset pulled from the SQL Server but cannot get the value of the clicked node to appear in the test input box. (This is the prelude to the actual working of the click of the node. Once I capture the value on the page - the processing can begin.) I also cannot seem to get my picture/icon to show at the apptopriate node level. This is mostly because I don't seem to be able to get the imagelist control to work properly. <sigh> I could really use a simple, working example. All of the examples I found are using .NET which is not an option for me here. Thanks David Tag: Strange Characters in file Tag: 157314

    - Random generation of items in given proportions Good grief, that's a terrible subject header. I have no idea how else to summarize this, though. The point of this post is to solicit alternative methods for what I'm doing. Let's say I want to randomly generate items in given proportions. For example: dogs: 400 cats: 200 pigeons: 0 frogs: 0 ducks: 100 "Select" is out. This needs to work for lists of arbitrary length. What follows is seminal (ignoring the list items themselves), just to show how I'm approaching this. I enter 400,200,10,0,100 when prompted: | arrOne = Split(InputBox("Enter data points"),",") | redim arrTwo(UBound(arrOne),3) | Randomize | | total = 0 | For j = 0 To UBound(arrOne) | arrTwo(j,0) = arrOne(j) | total = total + arrTwo(j,0) | Next | | For i = 1 To total | fud = 0 | test = Rnd() | test2 = 0 | For j = 0 To UBound(arrTwo) | arrTwo(j,1) = (arrTwo(j,0)+fud)/total | fud = fud + arrTwo(j,0) | If test > test2 And test < arrTwo(j,1) Then arrTwo(j,2) = arrTwo(j,2) + 1 | test2 = arrTwo(j,1) | Next | Next | | For i = 0 To UBound(arrTwo) | WScript.Echo arrTwo(i,2) | next A typical result: ------ 427 181 11 91 ------ Note that the number of iterations just happens to be the total; what I'm after isn't so much the number of items on completion, rather I'm after an average rate that's proportionate as this thing runs.

    - Domain Migration (NT4 to W2k3) I am working on a script which will remove a computer from an NT 4.0 domain and add it to a new W2k3 Active Directory domain. Microsoft has a sample script (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/scriptcenter/compmgmt/scrcm31.ms px) which shows how to join the workstation to a domain, but I believe I have to remove the account from the old domain before adding to the new. The return code I get after running this script above (of course changing the necessary variables) is 2691. And the result is the computer is still in the old NT 4.0 domain and no account added to the new AD. Any help would be appreciated... Chris Tag: Strange Characters in file Tag: 157277

    - Issues with Running VBS Script during Login for Users I'm fairly new to VB Scripting and am just seeing how far I can push it. I've created a script that will help my co-workers and I update the IP information on about 1500 computers in our corporation. To make the automation fully complete, we'd like to add it to run in the Novell Login script that runs when each user logs in. The problem is the user won't have admin rights to make the necessary updates. I'm looking for suggestions on ways to get around this. I've thought of a couple ways, and have done some research into it...but not found a solid solution to make this work. We're hoping to make it a free solution as well. The best way I can think of is to use a 3rd Party (freeware) "Run As Different User" (that's a scriptable version of the Microsoft "RunAs" - The problem with this is the program can't see the network drive that the Script is Mounted on (because its mounted as "Limited User", and the script is running as an "Admin User") I have yet to figure out the work-around for this. Other drawbacks to this is the admin password is out there in an (encrypted) file... its not a big worry for us, but it is a vulnerability.

    - Unicode OpenTextFile and Search Problem I have written a script in vbs that basically opens a set of selected files, performs a search on each file and replaces each occurrence of a string with a different string. This works fine on ASCII files. However the original files that I will be searching are Unicode files. With these files, even though I have stated in the OpenTextFile command that the files are to be opened as Unicode, the search finds nothing. I have confirmed that the files are unicode by checking the first two characters are ASCII 255 and 254. If I copy the contents of the Unicode file to a new text file the search works fine. What is my problem? Do I have to have a search string that is written in Unicode? I'm using RegExp to do the search. I do not want to save or convert the original files. I thought I'd find a solution in the newsgroups quickly on this one. But have had no success yet. Please help as the script is fully functional except for this "simple" problem. Thanx in advance.

    - Matching {'s in VBSCript Hello, Given the following: ifdef _cplusplus extern "C"{ #endif void foo1 () { ... somecode ...} void foo2 () { ... somecode ...} ifdef _cplusplus } #endif beginning code segment, I would like to be able to format the code to the following: ifdef _cplusplus extern "C"{ #endif void foo1 () { ... somecode ... } void foo2 () { ... somecode ... } ifdef _cplusplus } #endif I have tried the several regular expressions: [^extern.*""C"".*]{ but it captures a character previous to the brace, is there a way to just match the brace?

    - Error checking vbscript functions I am trying to build a library of vbscript functions and I would like to build in error checking but I am running into a problem, or at least something I don't understand. I want the function to verify the variables it is passed before it begins. The first thing I want to check is that all the variables are specified, but when I tried to test for missing variables I found the error seems to be generated when the function is called but before control is passed to it ' Sample program to demonstrate CheckFreeSpace Functio if (CheckFreeSpace ("c:", 1200000)) the wscript.echo "ROOOOOOOMMMMMMMY! els wscript.echo "tight end i ' End Sample program to demonstrate CheckFreeSpace Functio Function CheckFreeSpace(drvPath, MBNeeded ' usage: if (CheckFreeSpace("c:", 12)) then something ' checks for free space. If the free space on the drive exceeds the ' amount requested returns true. Otherwise it returns false ' the MBNeeded is megabytes needed. d.FreeSpace returns byte ' so we devide by 1,000,000 to get megabytes, and yes I know abou ' using 1024, but 1,000,000 gets the same number as the DIR command Dim fso, d, Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject" Set d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(drvPath) if (d.FreeSpace/1000000 > MBNeeded) the CheckFreeSpace = Tru els CheckFreeSpace = Fals end i End Function Tag: Strange Characters in file Tag: 157182

    - Emulating IE6??? Hi All I have written a script to test the source code returned by a "local box" web site. The idea being that if the site fails the script will pick it up and take corrective action. The only problem I have is that some of the newer site designs require IE6 in order to function When I run the script against these sites they either fail or redirect to thier "old browser" sections Is there a way I can get vbscript to emulate the IE6 browser, hence resolving this issue Many thanks, Aaron Tag: Strange Characters in file Tag: 157178

I'm using vbscript to create a flat file. At the beginning of the file a hex '255'. What should be there is teh beginning of my data. I've used both Write and WriteLine to output the data. I'm trying to create the following command

osql -U sa -P xxxxx -S xxxxx

The line contains the following:
x255osql -U sa -P xxxx -S xxx

Why is the first character being created?

Thank

Louis
