    - Two Fields in One Item of ComboBox and Posting Separately hi everyone. i'am a novice VBScript user. sorry for my illiteracy. i am developing a web site using ASP and VBScript. i'm working on an Access database. here, in firstpage.asp i have a combobox. combobox lists names and surnames of the users which are populated from the database [Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")]. I show each record's name and surname as one item of the ComboBox(*). but i have to send the name and surname information of selected item to nextpage.asp separately. So, how can i accomplish this? regards... * I do this to show them separately: <SELECT NAME="adsad"> <% Do While Not rec.eof %> <OPTION VALUE="<%=rec(0)&" "&rec(1)%>"><%=rec(0)&" "&rec(1)%></OPTION> <% rec.MoveNext loop %> </SELECT> but rhere is only one "value" of "option" : [VALUE="<%=rec(0)&" "&rec(1)%>] Tag: can't create object: 'WbemScripting.SWbemLocator' Tag: 189010

    - how to datatype in VBS? I want to call a method in the SQLDMO.SQLServer object that happens to be broken (since 2003).

    - Check Burned Disks For File Errors Hello all. We're in the process of backing up some network data onto DVDs. However, the burner we're using is very flaky, and sometimes the disks don't burn properly. You can be navigating through the disk with no problems, and then you'll find a bunch of files that can't be opened. They give you errors like "Cannot find file" or "File could not be opened". If you re-burn the exact same files again, it works fine. These disks have literally thousands of files on them. There's no way for someone to randomly check files and have any assurance that the disk as a whole is free of issues. I'm thinking of building a VBS that will iteratively step through all the files/folders and check them for errors. The only problem is, I'm not sure the best way to do this. There vast majority of the files are MS Office files, so I guess I could simply attempt to open each one within its given application and make sure there are no errors. However, I don't know how long that would take when you've got so many files. Does anyone have any advice for a better method to do this? -- Hmm...they have the Internet on COMPUTERS now!

    - Checking for folder existence using widlcards In my office we have a system for allocating work that involves creating a subfolder based on a reference number. The reference number forms a unique part in the format T#nnnnn at the start of the folder name, the rest of the folder name is freeformat text with a description of the task (eg "T#12345 - Set up vbscript"). I am trying to write a script that will check if a folder exists for a given reference number, if it does it opens it up in explorer and if it doesn't, it creates the folder and asks the user to input a description which is then used in the folder name. The only way I've been able to do it is to get a list of all the subfolders and loop through each one checking the first 7 characters, however this is taking quite a while as we have thousands of these things. I have split the folders into ranges of 1000 but it still takes too long to find. What i'd really like to do is to only return folders with a name of T#nnnn* when I do the getfolder. I can't seem to find any other method on the filesystemobject that will do this. Wuld be very grateful if someone could help me. Ta. Tag: can't create object: 'WbemScripting.SWbemLocator' Tag: 188958

    - Word- boilerplate text merging? I searched this group, but still can't find relevant answers. Is there an easy way to build a Word document based on a template where I can pick which boilerplate text or images to insert in the given fields/spots? I found an add-in to Word from ActiveDocs that is very nice but very pricey. It also seems to do more than I need. I thought that maybe a VBA script could handle the steps. All I need is a function that pops a dialog box where I can on the fly select the right bits of text from a database or maybe txt files on the hard drive. Is there an existing script that will do it, or alternatively a less expensive program than ActiveDocs? TIA Tag: can't create object: 'WbemScripting.SWbemLocator' Tag: 188934

    - Class or WSC? I'm working primarily in vbscript with wsh. I have wsf files that do various tasks for me. The wsf files use fn/subs stored in separate .vbs files by using <script> in the wsf file. The code is growing and I'm finding the need from my .vbs files to call other fns/subs. Up to this point I've used a combination of ExcecuteGlobal, wshell.run and wsf files to pass/return parameters and call routines. I'm wondering now if I should put all my functions/sub into a class or a wsc and just reference this one file in all my wsf programs. The class/wsc would have some disparate functions, but it seems to suit the purpose. Should I? Which one, class or wsc? Why? Are there other options to solve my problems? If you too have question about passing values I highly recommend looking at Torgeir Bakken's post: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.wsh/msg/9ebc58d1b5f5c51f He mentions wsc, but not a simpler class. Why? One of the drivers of my problems is my need to create a cental place for storing constants. I reference many network paths and I want a central place to be able to easily make changes. My initial solution was a text file to hold the constants and a function that uses ado to look up the values of named constants. But my architecture of calling vbs files from wsf files didn't work well since now my vbs files needed to call another vbs function that looked up the constants. You can't call wsf files from wsf files. I've looked at wsc and type libaries, but is this overkill for my need to grab some constants? Thanks in advance!

    - Does WMI have to be installed on Remote Computer? Hello. I'm new to WMI, learning as I go. I have a script which is supposed to check disk space on a number of remote computers. Sometimes I get an error number back, without a description: -2147217405. After looking around here, it seems that that means permission is denied, or it might mean that WMI is not installed on the remote computer. I'm not sure which. Which brings up the question - does WMI need to be installed on the remote computer in order for a script which uses WMI to work? I would have thought it wouldn't since the script is not being run from the remote computer. Does it? Another question. If -2147217405 does mean that permission is denied, I just want to be clear about what exactly that means. Sometimes that error comes back, but I can log on to that computer and look at the disk space through a remote desktop connection. So if permission is denied, how can that be? My script is below, just in case someone had questions about what I am doing. And just on a side note, constructive criticism is very welcome.

    - Question regarding shelling out of an HTA to invoke an EXE I have written an HTA program to facilitate the addition and deletion of DNS host records using Microsoft DNS. The hypertext make the program user friendly but the really work is being performed by the imbedded VBScript code and the DNSCMD.EXE program. Currently, the VBScript sets up some oshell.run statements involving the DNDCMD.EXE and the program works fairly well. My question is this..... Is there another commands other than oshell.run or oshell.exec to invoke a command line (non-GUI) program and pipe the output of the program directly back into the HTA? Here's what I want and don't want...... I don't want to have to deal with piping output to temp or permanent files. I want the DNSCMD program to run completely in the background. I want the output of the DNSCMD program to be it's directly accessible to me from memory, not in a file that I would have to read. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    - IE7. Any word about the affect on vbs. A recent blurb in pcMag says that IE7 is much more secure than IE6 ever was, and the major means by which the "improvements" were achieved was by stifling scripting and actX objects. Further, it went on to say the IE7 would most likely "break" (does that mean render inoperable?) a vast number of websites, and "break" an even vaster number of intRA-net web applications (leading one to presume that intRA-net apps make a greater use of scripting than the public websites). The conclusion was that microsoft was frantically distributing IE7 betas (or release candidates?) so that their customers could reprogram their websites and their internal net-based apps to conform with the requirements of IE7. It is understandable that microsoft would want to stifle scripting, those evil and malicious scripters have been giving everybody agita. However, the customary advice given here to anybody who wishes to have a scripting GUI is to script yourself up a suitable dialog using the automation interface to IE6. So finally, here's the question. Are all those scripts (or hta's) going to be "broken" by IE7 also??? cheers, jw Tag: can't create object: 'WbemScripting.SWbemLocator' Tag: 188871

    - posting here with attachments (follow-up) A couple of weeks ago, there were some postings here related to what was allowed in this ng as far as the size of attachments. I don't know the definitive answer, but I recently tried to post a message with TWO 40kb attachments, and that was rejected by the server (grumble). Then I removed one of the attachments and that one was posted successfully. So a somewhat vague answer would be that (at least) up to a 40kb of attachments is acceptable, but 80kb is not. hope this helps, jw Tag: can't create object: 'WbemScripting.SWbemLocator' Tag: 188869

I'm trying to run a WMI script that works well on Windows 2003 on Windows NT.
I'm getting the following error message:
ActiveX component can't create object: 'WbemScripting.SWbemLocator'
It seems like this is related to WMI not being installed, but it is (the
service exists and is running). I've restarted the service and still get the
same error.

Thank you.

Hi,

Documentation says it requires NT4 SP4 or later.

Rich,

The server is NT 4.0 SP6. Also, running wbemtest gives the following:
Failed to create IWbemLocator object.

Thank you for your help.
