    - Checking the font details at the cursor position Hi, I am having a content editable div which is used to act like a rich text editor. I also have got a toolbar with two combo boxes (Font face and font size) and other tools such as bold, italic, underline, font color etc., etc. The rich text editor works fine. I am using the Document.ExecCommand to change the font/size etc. my problem is the font face and font size combo boxes don't change when I navigate between different paragraphs having different font faces and sizes. is there a way to identify the font details of the current cursor position and fire a method to update these combo boxes when the user is navigating between text? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Rex Devapriya De Silva Tag: desktop settings using scripts Tag: 159660

    - Reading registry keys with & in key name? I am attempting to read registry key values using regread that contain the & character. Specifically, I am trying to read the value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1008&SUBSYS_011B1028&REV_02\3&1070020&0&10\LocationInformation". WMI is not an option because I am trying to do this inside of Windows PE. I can successfully read valus that do not contain a & symbol. At a command prompt, I can use reg query to read these values if I enclose the key path in quotes. The error is: Error: Invalid root in registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1008&SUBSYS_011B1028&REV_02\3&1070020&0&10\LocationInformation" Code: 80070002 Source: WshShell.RegRead. Is there any way I can read these values using regread? Tag: desktop settings using scripts Tag: 159659

    - CDOSYS.DLL generating Visual C++ Runtime Error I am using the CDOSYS.DLL (CDO for Windows 2000 Library) to send email by using Win2K Server's SMTP Service from within Windows Script written in VBScript. I am receiving errors when attempting to create a CDO Message object (CreateObject("CDO.Message")). Actually, I receive the same error if I try to create any object within the CDOSYS library, not just the Message object. The entire application errors out with the following message: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime Error! Program <program name>. abnormal program termination." The name of the program matches the name of my application, but the error (to the best of my knowledge) is actually being generated from the CDOSYS libraries. * Running Win2K SP4 with IE 6 SP1. * Several other machines with similar (if not seemingly exact) configurations do not receive the error. * Nothing in the Event Logs to indicate an error * The SMTP Service is running (however since the message isn't even getting created, I don't think this matters) * There is nothing in Drop or any other mailroot folder Because CDOSYS is installed with the OS, we attempted to reapply SP4 - no luck. Any other suggestions? Anyone else seen this before? Ron Cuirle Adv IT Systems Analyst FirstEnergy Corp. Tag: desktop settings using scripts Tag: 159645

    - passing array from VC++ COM to VBScript Hi, Thanks for checking out my post. I am trying to send a SAFEARRAY from a Visual C++ ATL COM component to a VBScript client. I have managed to get this working with a "[out,retval] VARIANT *" on the server side and reading a 1D (one dimesional) array on the VBScript client. I create a SAFEARRAY, filled it with VARIANTS of type BSTR and then send it off to the client via a VARIANT * But I can't seem to get it working with a 2D array?? I get that typical "Type mismatch error" when I try to access a member of the array on the client side, like this :- ###################### begin client code ######################################## Set objArray = CreateObject("ArraySamp.Array") aArray = objArray.Fetch() aArray = objArray.Fetch() Response.write aArray(0)(0) <-----THIS ERRORS #### The server (VC++) code is below.

    - Newbie: Update Excel Chart with new range of values Have a script which creates an Excel chart from a range of values. The script runs daily and adds a new cell value in Column B. That all works fine. What I'm attempting to do is update the Chart range values to include the new cell. What I have so far instead creates a new series with the new cell value - as a result, I'm just getting single points as a different series. After researching this problem for a couple of days, I am still unsure whether I need to somehow update the SeriesCollection values, the Range values of the chart itself, or use the SetData, SetSourceData, or Extend methods. Either way, I have difficulty understanding when to use what, when and where. Hope you can help clear it up. Here's the relevant code. strExcelRowValue increases by 1 cell every time I run it. So I need to update the range values of SeriesCollection(1): B2:B3 on day 3, B2:B4 on day four, B2:B5 on day 5, etc... objXLApp.Sheets(strExcelChartName).Select Set objChartObject = objXLApp.ActiveChart ' Set objSeries = objXLApp.ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1) - Commented out, though I can access if needed objChartObject.SetSourceData objXLApp.Sheets(strExcelSheetName).Range("B2:B" & strExcelRowValue) Thanks in advance Tag: desktop settings using scripts Tag: 159636

    - SQL constraint rule probelm Hi there, I'm having a hard time automatically editing some users to my SQL DB. I established it is because the surname of the people I am adding contains an " ' ", eg surname = O'Connel What I am sending SQL looks like: sQLUpdateString = "UPDATE Users SET " & updateString & _ " WHERE (UserName='" & userName & "')" conWrite.Execute(sQLUpdateString) My script generates updateString automatically and in the case where it updates the users full name; updateString = FullName='John O'Connel' In this case userName = "JohnO" This normally works fine, (I can update all the other users in my DB this way), however in cases like this where the surname includes the " ' " the full name in read in as being "John O" then an error because the "Connel" part still remains and is invalid SQL. I am told that I should probably use a rule or a constraint to fix this, however SQL is not really my strong suit, so any pointers on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated.

    - Weird VBscrip Win2k explorer problems Hello All, Well my issue is my inventory script which I have made from other peoples scripts and modified for my own use is having some issues on our desktops. Little about our environment, Windows 2000, SP3 & SP4 with most patches applied. And worm patches etc. mostly our users aren't & can't be local administrators of there machines. Anyway I originally had a VBScript which did the inventory but I was having the following problems so I tried making a KIXTART Script which also made the exact same problems as described below. 1) Logged on as a normal user the PC's Internet Explorer 6 w/sp1 works first time then you close the app and open it again and it says "Detecting proxy settings" and just sits there forever and you have to reboot again for it to work. If you're lucky. 2) After the internet explorer starts playing up I can't get into control panel its like the whole "explorer" craps out. 3) The Computer generally becomes unstable, App's play up Outlook doesn't work media player etc. 4) If I load a patch on the machines which is MS04-011 Latest updates. (May/June) I think it is, and make the user a local administrator everything 's fine. If I load this patch and don't make the local user an administrator it still doesn't work properly ie: Media player doesn't load internet explorer and explorer still has issues. Making all our users local Admin's isn't an option for us. So I'm guessing it has to be something with the script which is causing the hassle. Or something I'm doing somewhere, So I had my kix script checked out and its fine apparently and the VB Script works perfect on a number of machines but then I hit a number of pc's which It doesn't work and causes the problems above. But once you disable to script at logon. The machine is perfect so it 's defiantly something strange when running these scripts but the scripts are fine.. All the scripts basically do is some WMI Queries and other Reg Queries nothing real hi-tech but it seems to make the machine unstable.. If any of you can think of anything that might be contributing to this issue please let me know! Btw: I'm using kixtart 2001 4.21 and I've tried updating to Windows Scripting host 5.1 I think the latest, Still the same problems. Thanks, Quenten Tag: desktop settings using scripts Tag: 159594

    - hta script broken. I access an hta file that runs a script I need for work. This script ran fine for everyone who accessed it, including me. However, my computer recently crashed and our tech department provided me with a new hard drive complete with a Ghosted image. Since I got the new drive, I have been unable to run the hta file. No one else is experiencing this problem. I am running Win2k, but my office runs a mix of Win2K and NT4. I was also running Win2k prior to my hard drive crash. I installed Microsoft's 5.6 script engine (scripten.exe) obtained from their web site and I believe I have the most current version of mshta.exe. It's my understanding that mshta.exe is the program that is to untilzed to run this script. I have tried to run the script via IE to no avail. This includes me checking and unchecking various script related boxes in the Advanced section of IE's options. Here is the error I receive: **************************************** Msg Box: Internet Explorer Script Error Message: An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Unfortunately everytime a Javascript error occurs (these happen randomly and the website is not owned by me so there's nothing I can do about it) it pauses and I need to click Cancel in the popup box which appears. How do I get my script to ignore/bypass these errors? Thanks, Anon. Tag: desktop settings using scripts Tag: 159547

Hi

We have staff and student users, and we would like to be able to see if
any students were logged in as staff. On our old system (which was not
standard and we didn't know how it worked :-) we had red desktops for
staff and green for students.

Now we have windows 2003/xp we would like to replicate this. Is there
any way using vbscript in a login script I can achieve this?

thanks
andy
