Inscrutable Type Mismatch Error
I've taken Charles Oppermann's excellent phone directory command line VBS and
tried to use it as a web application. I have added the necessary input field
and output location but the very end of the script throws Microsoft VBScript
runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch errors. My entire site utilizes user
authentication so I know that the problem can't be there but I'm missing
something else, perhaps in my variable declaration.
The specific line causing the error is in the final loop:
strDisplayLine = objADORecordset.Fields("cn").Value & vbTab

Exclude Files when using robocopy
Hi Champs
is it possible to run robocopy against a folder but to exclude one or more
unwnated filetypes instead of including the wanted file types? Tag: Up time Tag: 185264
<Else If> in command line
Hi Champs
I want to create a backup script which can be used when logged on but also
when booted with WinPE = profile not loaded.
Is there a way to display all available profiles on that machiene and to
choose from to have the choosen profile "added" in the placeholder of the
paths I specified in my script?
Sample:
I run the script and will then have the choice to choose from "Adminstrator"
or "User1" or "User2".
If I choose the "Administrator" profile, I want that the placeholder in all
related paths is taken for the operation:
Sample:
"%userprofile%\favorites\" becomes "C:\Documents and Settings\Favorites\"
Someone in here can follow me? :) Tag: Up time Tag: 185263

Checking if a file is opened
Hi,
I am looking for a solution to find out if a file is opened in a
windows (NT oder W2k or XP) application.
For office documents it seems to be clear: trying to open the document
exclusively - if that is succesful, the document is not opened.
But what can I do if I want to know if, for example, a text file is
opened in notepad? If you want you can rename or delete the file while
it is opened in notepad. I think it's the same for documents in wordpad
or images in paint. In this case the file always can be opened
exclusively.
Maybe it is possible to run a VBScript that checks the running
aplications and their window titles? But thinking about that I see two
problems:
1. consider 2 text files c:\dir1\test.txt and c:\dir2\test.text (same
file names but different directories. If both of these files are opened
in notepad I would have two windows using the same title "test.txt -
Notepad". Is there a chance to find out which file is opened in which
notepad?
2. Consider applications that open all documents in one window. In this
case you will have only one application window using different window
titles depending on the document that is in front.
I hope, someone has an idea how to find a solution. Thanks very much in
advance!

Change Registry Key on a different computer
Hi. I need to set a registry value on a computer different from the
one where the script will be run. I've never really had to do anything
with the registry before. I think I found some examples on this group,
but I'd like to get some clarification, if someone wouldn't mind taking
the time.
I found this example:
set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
basekey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\"
key = basekey & "Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\ComputerName"
shell.regwrite key,strUserIn
In the example it seems that strUserIn would be the value of the
registry, yes?
So if I want the value of this registry key to be "XXX", then I could
do this, right?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASCI\ActiveBatch\Current_Version\JobSched\SMTPFrom
set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
sValue = "XXX"
key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\" & _
"ASCI\ActiveBatch\Current_Version\JobSched\SMTPFrom"
shell.regwrite key,sValue
I suppose what I don't get is how to make it run on a different
computer. Could someone explain that part?
Thanks,

Enumerate group membership
I am trying to enumerate the group membership for a user at logon. I need to
know about every group, so I must use a recursive function to check the group
membership of each group (I use a different procedure to get the primary
group as the memberOf attribute does not contain this info). I have the
following which I modeled on the work of Richard Mueller - www.rlmueller.net.
His program works great, but I wanted something that did not rely on a
dictionary object outside of the procedure to store values. I am storing and
passing values within the function. My function works, but I get repeated
group names if the group type is domain local. I can't seem to add logic
that corrects this problem. Any suggestions?
Call to the function from main program is something like this:
strValue=EnumGroups(ADObject, "",TRUE)
Function EnumGroups(fobjADObject,fstrStoreValue,fCallFirst)
Dim arrGroups
Dim objGroup
Dim intCount
Dim strMyTempValue
Dim strSAMname
strMyTempValue = ""
strSAMname = UCase(fobjADObject.sAMAccountName)
If fCallFirst = False Then
If Not InStr(fstrStoreValue,"CN=" & strSAMName) Then
If Not fstrStoreValue = "" Then
strMyTempValue = fstrStoreValue & "CN=" & strSAMname & Chr(10)
Else
strMyTempValue = "CN=" & strSAMname & Chr(10)
End If
End If
End If
arrGroups = fobjADObject.memberOf
'** The AD object contains no groups. In this case, the function is set
'** to the value of the passed value holder if it is NOT empty and if
'** the string isn't already there.
If IsEmpty(arrGroups) Then
If Not InStr(fstrStoreValue,"CN=" & strSAMname) Then

'** If the item returned from the memberOf method is a string, then
'** recurse for the group to check for its memberships and add results

SUB-STRINGing in VBScript
I wrote a script that reads an input file ('input.txt') that creates
an output file ('output.txt') that massages the data and output it to
be use as a metadata file.
One of the things I'm trying to do (but having problems) is to read a
record in the input file and grab the first letter of the word in the
row to create an index tag only using the 'first' character.
HERE IS A EXAMPLE of my input file and what I would like to create in
my output file. I'm trying to substring the first character without
any luck.
******[ 'input.txt' ]******
Mary
Mike
Joe
Tom
Larry
Dick
James
Paula
Jason
******[ 'output.txt' ]******
category="Index",M
category="Index",M
category="Index",J
category="Index",T
category="Index",L
category="Index",D
category="Index",J
category="Index",P
category="Index",J
For example: when my program reads the first row 'Mary', it will
output 'category="Index",M', and so on, till end of file. Everything
else works good, but having problems is sub-stringing.

Porting an Excel macro to the web
I have recently written some simple Excel macros that run various
statistics on a column of numbers input by the user. I would like to
construct a simple website that allows users to paste their own column
of numbers and see these same outputs. I have been told that I may need
to use VB script to do this. I am happy to learn Vb script, but I am
also seeing comments that only Internet Explorer can view these
websites effectively. As I say, the actual code is rather simple. I
guess my question is, if I want to go to GoDaddy or some entry-level
website design tools, what is the simplest way to transform my Excel
macros to be used on any website I might construct? Would that be Php?
ASP? I am a beginner, but generally can learn to code what I need, as
long as there is some kind of "step-by-step" book I can buy.

Snapshot and/or Run Macro
Stuck on Xmas Eve.
I am helping a school district with a problem on either Run Macro or how
to display a Snapshot file. They need to either do a
mcrName = "McrUNV"
objAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro mcrName
or be able to display a Snapshot file.
For thoses of you who know DB2 it is very easy from a Web Page, however in
asp it is presenting a problem
I have no idea how to display a Page with a Snapshot file to be displayed.
The objAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro mcrName give us a message of:
You can't carry out this action at this time. I have spent four days (I am
on leave from the Navy) searching the Web. Some sites say I have to go to
Printer Settings and create a file and set my Default Printer to that file.
I have no examples to go by and have been guessing for four days. Because I
can do this in DB2 (with Assembler Language Sub-Routines I might add) people
are requesting me to do it in an asp page as a favor.
If someone knows either way I can get this to work (Run a Macro on my Server
or show a page with a Sanpshot file) I will owe that individual a lunch.

HTML DropDown Menu and VBSCRIPT
I have an html page... I have a vbscript. The vbscript loads when the
html page is loaded and populates the HTML box with data. I put an
onChange on the selection box to call a sub routine. Based upon the
value of the selection box, it is supposed to do something. However,
the vbscript doesn't recognize the object (the drop down box)...
I know the html page calls the sub routine correctly as I can do a
msgbox "a".
I specified a name for the drop down menu (name="nameOfDropDown") and
in the vbscript I say
MsgBox nameOfDropDown.Value
I get an error saying, "Object required 'nameOfDropDown'
What am I missing? Tag: Up time Tag: 185183
Shell object error
Hello,
I'm trying to copy a folder using the shell object.
Here's the code:
Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&
ParentFolder = "D:\Archive"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(ParentFolder)
objFolder.CopyHere "C:\Scripts", FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG
I got this from the script ropository. It doesn't work for me.
This is the error I get.
Line: 11
Char:1
Error: Variable is undefined: 'ParentFolder'
Code: 800a01f4
Can anyone get this to work???
Does the target folder need to exist before you copy?
Thank you for any help. Tag: Up time Tag: 185181

A Christmas Present (that you didn't ask for)...
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

In the great tradition of (most) Christmas Presents,
this is one you didn't ask for, you didn't want,
and you will probably never use.
It is a status message / progressbar utility.
A StatusMsg/ProgBar capability is one of the most
serious omissions of wsh/vbs, if not _the_ most
serious omission. Every other scripting language
(that I know of) does have a StatusMsg/ProgBar
capability.
As you know, scripters have not stood idly by and
accepted this deficiency. There are a great number
of StatusMsg/ProgBar utilities already available out
there (and most are offered for free). They are
usually written in vb, but any competent language
could be used.
What is unusual about _THIS_ StatusMsg/ProgBar utility
is that it is written in script. More specifically,
it is written in vbs using api's called by DynaWrap to
create the graphical interface. I know what you're
thinking -- DynaWrap is a 3rd-party control, and
not "pure" script.
I would assert that DynaWrap is "almost pure" script.
Here's the argument. For one, it comes with code,
and so you can reassure yourself that nothing under-
handed is going on. For another, the code was
originally published in the Microsoft Developer's
Journal, and so by implication it bears the imprimature
of Microsoft. DynaWrap is no stranger to the scripting
ng's. It has been mentioned in the scripting ng's for
years (since 1999) and is frequently suggested for use
when somebody wishes to do something outside the realm
of "pure" script. Finally, it is "lite weight". The dll
is only 36kb, and there are no vbRuntimes used. Compared
with (bloated) InternetExplorer, which is the usual
suggestion here for use as a scripting StatusMsg/ProgBar
dialog, DynaWrap is exceedingly "lite weight".
Yes, DynaWrap is lacking in features for use with serious
heavy-duty api's. Most importantly for gui programming,
it is lacking in any typedef capability, and there is no
provision for callbacks. With this in mind, a StatusMsg/
ProgBar utility is about as far as one can go with DynaWrap,
because it is a "dialog" -- but the dialog is only "one-way"
(you are telling the user something, but not allowing him/her
to talk back). It is the "talking-back" part that requires
callbacks. That is, you need to make provisions for the
system send to you notification messages indicating that
the user is interacting with your dialog (buttons were
clicked, etc).
So here it is, for what it's worth. The first attachment
is the StatusMsg/ProgBar utility, wrapped up as a scripting
component in a "wsc" file. You may regester the wsc and
call it from script, or you may also just load it from a
local file. Or, if you don't like dealing with components,
you can just extract the relevant code and stick it directly
into your script. The other attachment is a demo script.
The "boilerplate" below describes how to get DynaWrap,
just in case you don't have it.
cheers, jw
--- <DynaWrap Boilerplate> ---
It is possible to declare-and-call an api from script,
but you must use a third-party control to do so,
or else write one yourself.
It has already been correctly pointed out that there
is no api-capability in "pure" script.
If you are willing to use a third-party control, then
one such control, called "DynaWrap", can be found on
Guenter Born's website (note: Guenter refers to it as
"DynaCall"). Here is the link to it:
http://people.freenet.de/gborn/WSHBazaar/WSHDynaCall.htm
On that page you will find a download for the control,
plus some code samples.
Note: you may find additional sample code by searching
the archives of the wsh and vbscript ng's.
Note also: DynaWrap does have its limitations. There are
certain things it can't do. For example, you can't call
api's which take typedefs as parameters, and you can't call
api's "by ordinal". But it will work for most of the
"usual suspects".
And finally, DynaWrap doesn't work entirely as advertised.
For example, it is supposed to allow for the declaration of
several api definitions in one instance of itself. I could
never get that to work (in win9x). You will need a new
instance of DynaWrap for every api, or else re-instantiate
the object for every api. Someday I'm going to learn enough
c++ to fix that...

' Description: O.K., so there are plenty of these dialogs around,
' but it was in intriguing challenge to program this
' with DynaWrap...
'
' Author: mr_unreliable
'
' Usage: Use at you own risk, tested on win98se...
'
' --- revision history ---------------------------
' 10Dec05: original attempt, using the wshATO "MakeWindow" script as inspiration...
' 11Dec05: couldn't get valid instance handle for THIS script, and so using
' the desktop instance handle, for now. (Maybe inspiration will strike later)...
' 11Dec05: in an attempt to get color into the progbar, used "SetTextColor" but
' that didn't work(?). So, used "DrawText" to draw the text (i.e., the blocks)
' to the textbox, but that apparently draws "on" the box, not "in" the box,
' that is, the image doesn't "persist" (ugh!)...
' 12Dec05: changing approach to using a static control, and inserting a bitmap
' image (i.e., a "rectangle" drawn in to resemble a progbar)...
' 14Dec05: redraw the bitmap "every time" (rather than attempting to retain/modify it)...
' 15Dec05: move the status msg / progbar dialog code to a "wsc" component,
' for the "usual reasons", i.e., "packaging"...

'
' Description: O.K., so there are plenty of these dialogs around,
' but it was in intriguing challenge to program this
' with DynaWrap...
'
' Author: mr_unreliable
'
' Usage: Use at you own risk, tested on win98se...
'
' --- revision history ---------------------------
' 10Dec05: original attempt, using the wshATO "MakeWindow" script as inspiration...
' 11Dec05: couldn't get valid instance handle for THIS script, and so using
' the desktop instance handle, for now. (Maybe inspiration will strike later)...
' 11Dec05: in an attempt to get color into the progbar, used "SetTextColor" but
' that didn't work(?). So, used "DrawText" to draw the text (i.e., the blocks)
' to the textbox, but that apparently draws "on" the box, not "in" the box,
' that is, the image doesn't "persist" (ugh!)...
' 12Dec05: changing approach to using a static control, and inserting a bitmap
' image (i.e., a "rectangle" drawn in to resemble a progbar)...
' 14Dec05: redraw the bitmap "every time" (rather than attempting to retain/modify it)...
' 15Dec05: move the status msg / progbar dialog code to a "wsc" component,
' for the "usual reasons", i.e., "packaging"...

Enumerating through shares and listing out permissions
I am looking for examples of enumerating through the network shares on a
machine(XP/2003) and saving the share name, users/groups, and the permissions
to a audit file. Does anyone know how to do this or where examples can be
found? I guess I would like to add that any places that have common audit
tasks that are scripted in vbscript or something similiar for Windows systems
would be interesting as well. Thanks.

Enabling windows messenging service?
Since XP SP2 came out, messenger service was disabled on workstations.
Is there some way within a script to enable the service and start the
service? I can imagine a way to start and stop the service if it is enabled,
but not disabled.
I know very, very little about scripting. If there is a way to do this, it
would be great because it would allow me to make it part of our agency's
logon script(s) so that we could use mass NET SENDs again for administrative
purposes on our LANs. Tag: Up time Tag: 185150

Query csv file using ado when header is not first row
Is there a way in vbscript to query a csv file using ado and use a
header when the header info is not the first row?
I want to query a file that I do not control. The first four lines
are not data. The fifth line is the header info (field names.) The
rest of the rows are the data. I have yet to find an example in
vbscript of how to tell ado to start at a particular row. I see that
this is possible using VBA in Excel. I guess I could also create the
filesystem object to create a temp file without the first four rows. I
was hoping there was a direct solution with ado.
Anyone know?
Thanks, Steve. Tag: Up time Tag: 185132

Script to set Recycled Bin properties
Hi All,
I have been trying to find a way (programatically using either WMI or
standard WSH) to set/get the properties of the Recycle Bin : Maximum size in
Percentage (applied to all drives), delete permanently or not, etc,
configuration global or independent for each drive, etc
Is there any way to do it by scripting?
Regards

FileSystemObject.CreateTextFile cannot create Arabic text file (Wi
Hi,
I am unable to create text file with arabic content in Windows 2000 using
IIS 5.0 using the Scripting.FileSystemObject object.
I have used and ASP file with the following code to create a text document
with Arabic content.
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
reportFile = Server.MapPath("../upload") & "\test.doc"
Set textStream = fso.CreateTextFile(reportFile, true, true)
textStream.Write strFileContent
Set textStream = nothing
The variable strFileContent contains the Arabic text.
My development environment is Win XP SP 2 / IIS 5.1 and the above code works
perfectly fine creating an Arabic word document. The dev system also has
Microsoft Office 2003.
The staging environment is Win 2000 / IIS 5.0 and DO NOT have any Office
system.
However, when I run the ASP file in the staging system, it creates the text
file but with junk data (non Arabic).
In the staging system I could type arabic in a notepad (My inference is that
UNICODE is available on my staging server).
Could you help please?
Thanks.

Run Access Report from Web Page
I am an Assembler Programmer who is not a bad VB programmer with very little
Web experience. I am helping several small school districts with a request.
I need to know if there is a command line or script that can run a report
within access on the server when a client requests a certain page.
FYI: The information is the University requesting a student's test scores.
The report will naturally show the university who has the high school
passwords so that the school knows who requested the information.
All I want to do is add this to an existing page in asp.
Thanks for any help

open any file with vbscript ?
Dear vbscript experts,
Is it possible with vbscript to open a file no knowing which application it
corresponds to ? For example, if extension is xls it should start Excel, if
extension is psd it should open photoshop, etc.
Thank you !

ForeignSecurityPrincipals
I am trying to develop an informal login script. Users are from one
domain and the server is in another. Trust has been established. I
need to determine if the user is in a group, the group is not in the
same domain as the user. I can list the members of the group but it
shows the user's Foreign Security Principal. I would like to determine
what the logged on users's FSP is and use that for the isMember or
compare the strings or something. Any ideas how to enumerate the
objects in the ForeignSecurityPrincipals container? Tag: Up time Tag: 185105
