    - AD search using ADO....scope problem Hi guys, have a little problem. I'm trying to write a script to automatically move disabled accounts onto the appropriate OU. The problem is, I do not want all the domain users to be included in the search. Only from a given OU downwards. So, I figured out two alternatives: - do not use a dynamic bind to the directory but use a "hard-coded" bind to the OU where the users to be searched exist. - do a normal bind to the active directory and then set the scope accordingly. So my question is: is it possible to bind to the current domain as follows: Set objADsRootDSE = GetObject("GC://RootDSE") strADsPath = "GC://" & objADsRootDSE.Get("rootDomainNamingContext") strBase = "<" & strADsPath & ">" Set objADsRootDSE = Nothing And then tell ADO to perform the search only on a given path (see strScope), ie: strObjects = "(objectCategory=person)" strFilter = "(&" & strObjects & ")" strAttributes = "distinguishedName, userAccountControl, SAMAccountName, cn" strScope = "ou=bla,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=org" I tried like this but nothing, it does not work... ?????? Alternatively, I tried the second solution, ie to do a "hard" bind to the domain: Set objADsRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://ou=bla,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=org") And use the strScope = "subtree" but the script still fails... If anybody can help me on this matter I would be very grateful! Thanks Bar Tag: shell from vbs Tag: 143172

    - Data Access Question Dear All I have created a calendar asp page using vbScript that loads data from a SQL database. It highlights the date I have data. Everything works well, however I have one question about the data access procedure and one about erasing the array. I load the data for the current month into an array after opening a connection with the database and then close the connection. If the user then selects the next month, another connection is opened and the values loaded into an array. Like above the connection is closed. Is this the best way to approach it when I will have hundreds of users accessing the SQL Server database at the same time? Current Month >> Opens connection >> Fills Array >> Displays results >> Closes Connection. Next Month >> Opens connection >> Fills Array >> Displays results >> Closes Connection. If I create the connection to the database and fill the array with data in the Header of the HTML page and display the contents of the array in the Body of the page, where do I erase the array, or do I even need to?

    - Form data validation methods Greetings. This post is related to my recent post, and may better explain what I am trying to do .... hopefully :- ) Question, what is the most efficient way to validate data in a form? For instance, I know I can do something like this: Function Form1_onSubmit() If Form1.txtuser1.Value = "" Then ' do something here End If If Form1.txtuser2.Value = "" Then ' do something here End If End Function However, what if I have several like fields, e.g. txtuser1, txtuser2, txtuser3, etc. ... in that case the above approach to data validation is not very efficient. Especially when I want to run several like fields against the same validation methods (i.e. is it blank, does it or does it not contain this or that character?). To further complicate matters, what if the amount of like fields I have on my page will vary on each load because they are created "dynamically" thru ASP code? In that case, there is no way to setup the above, functional albeit inefficient, method of validating my data. In a nutshell, what I am trying to accomplish on the client-side is what I can rather easily do on the server-side: For x = 1 To Request.Form.count() strFrmKey = Request.Form.key(x) strFrmItm = Request.Form.item(x) ' Do whatever other checking I would like here Next Is there, or what is an equivalent for client-side validation? Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. Doug Tag: shell from vbs Tag: 143125

    - Iterate thru all elements in form Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to iterate thru all elements in a form for the purpose of validating data on a form.

In fact the only thing that I can get to work is this: Set objElements = document.Form1.Elements For Each objElement in objElements MsgBox objElement Next The above only responds with several messages containing "[object]" ... not very useful.

    - MSHTA - Logon Script I'm using a logon script on a Novell network. This logon script calls a batch file which, in turn, calls mshta with the parameter being the url to the asp.net intranet web site. This works great on all machines (after numerous fixes and tweaks to the hta). The only problems I have seen are, on Windows 2000 machines that have IE 6.0 with no other updates to IE (via Windows Update), the hta hangs. mshta.exe is still listed in the list of processes, but the hta never gets displayed. One of the August, 2003 updates from windows update fixes this problem, but we can't depend on the users to do this to fix it (as they don't want this application running anyways). None of the updates listed in August list anything about HTA's or (afaik) script bugs (other than cross domain exploits that have been fixed and aren't an issue here afaik). So, any other ideas?

    - Passing Dictionary object byref Ive created an ASP class that uses a dictionary object which is filled from a recordset. It passes the object to the propterty of another ASP class byref: Public Property Let dicReplaceVars(byref vdicReplaceVars) set p_ReplaceVars = vdicReplaceVars End Property Private p_ReplaceVars where it is used in this other class a few times to replace values in an array: Function ReplaceVars(vArrayItem) '' turn it into an array split at spaces vArrayItem = split(vArrayItem," ") '' loop through the array for count = lbound(vArrayItem) to ubound(vArrayItem) ''See if it is a replacement variable and exists in the dictionary if left(vArrayItem(count),6) = "tkRep_" and p_ReplaceVars.exists(vArrayItem(count)) then '' then replace it Error occurs here >> vArrayItem(count) = p_ReplaceVars.Item(cstr(vArrayItem(count))) end if next dim vArrayItemNew vArrayItemNew = "" '' Loop through the array and put it back together for count = lbound(vArrayItem) to ubound(vArrayItem) if vArrayItem(count) = ubound(vArrayItem) then vArrayItemNew = vArrayItemNew & vArrayItem(count) else vArrayItemNew = vArrayItemNew & vArrayItem(count) & " " end if next '' return the vArrayItemNew to the function ReplaceVars = vArrayItemNew End Function The error message I get is: ADODB.Field (0x800A0D5C) Object is no longer valid. D:\WWW\LCDEV\DOC_FUNCTIONS\../classes/classlcDocTKit_item.asp, line 52 However I have no idea why, it is a dictionary object and not a recordset, the object should still be open.

    - Excel functions called from a web page? Can you call Excel functions using VBScript on an ASP page? What/how do you need to reference? I assume the server would need to have the MS extensions loaded or something?

    - ASP submitting a form to 2 places on the same page Ok, have a normal html form that sends a username and password to an asp page, the asp page then retrieves the username and password and puts it into cookies, The page then uses a javascript submittal to a progress database but this js is considered malicious code by some browsers and will not work for certain users. So I have to find a different way of gleaning the username and password before it is sent off to the other page (which I have no control over). I could always use a response.redirect but then the username and password would be in clear text and is unacceptable. IS there anyway to do a blind submittal on an asp page without user intervention??????? Tag: shell from vbs Tag: 143039
