    - Permission denied shutdown script I have written my first script and am having trouble with it. It is supposed to copy a folder on the local drive to a network so that it can be backed-up. dim myDate myDate = DatePart("y", myDate) Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") dim fromFile fromFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\lars\Application Data\Opera\Opera 8 Beta\*" dim toFile toFile = "\\server\Data\My Documents\lars\Bookmarks\Opera\Backup" & myDate Set f = fso.CreateFolder(toFile) fso.CopyFolder fromFile, f.path , true When I execute this, "cscript cp.vbs", it works fine, copying the data to the server. I then placed the above script in C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown, and, using gpedit.msc, gone to the Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts(Startup/Shutdown), selected Shutdown, and added this script to the Shutdown Scripts for Local Computer. When the system shuts down, I get a Permission Denied error '800a0046'. What am I missing here? Thanks, Lars Tag: Not working why?? Tag: 167643

    - Communicating Between VB6 and a HTML Document I had a need to manipulate the activities of a webpage hosted by the WebBrowser control from within a Visual Basic project. The requirement was that VB must be able to communicate with VBScript, and vice versa. This is how I accomplished the task. I created a new Visual Basic project and placed the WebBrowser control on its default form. I initially set that control properties with a name of WebBrowser1, and as not visible. I placed a command button on top of the WebBrowser1 control, right-clicked it and sent it to the front and then right-clicked the WebBrowser1 control and sent it to the back. I set the form properties to not display a menu bar. I set the click event handler for the command button to end the program. In the form unload event is where I destroyed all objects before the VB program would end. This code would set the form to entirely fill a 1024x768 screen: Me.Move 0, 0 Me.Width = 15360: Me.Height = 11520 Me.Visible = True This code would then initialize that control for full screen and no taskbar or menus: WebBrowser1.Left = 10: WebBrowser1.Top = 10 WebBrowser1.Height = Me.Height - 20: WebBrowser1.Width = Me.Width - 20 WebBrowser1.AddressBar = False WebBrowser1.MenuBar = False WebBrowser1.StatusBar = False WebBrowser1.FullScreen = True WebBrowser1.TheaterMode = True WebBrowser1.GoHome WebBrowser1.Visible = True I defined a global variable named PageReady. Then this code in WebBrowser1.DocumentComplete: PageReady = True Then I created Sub MyTest() and placed this code into it: WebBrowser1.Navigate MyPath & "Page1.html" 'MyPath is previously defined PageReady = False While PageReady = False: DoEvents: DoEvents: DoEvents: Wend 'Page loaded 'Set the text value in the page control named txtWebBrowser! WebBrowser1.Document.All.Item("txtWebBrowser").Value = "Message from VB6 Code!" 'Get the text value in the page control named txtWebBrowser! 'MsgBox WebBrowser1.Document.All.Item("txtWebBrowser").Value ---------------- That completes the VB part. I then created a webpage called Page1.html, existing in the MyPath that was specified in the above VB code. The page had this code: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Communications Test</TITLE> <SCRIPT Language="VBScript"> OPTION EXPLICIT SUB PageLoaded() txtWebBrowser.Value="READY" END SUB </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINK="#00FFFF" VLINK="#FF0000" ALINK="#FF00FF" SCROLL="NO" ONLOAD="PageLoaded()"> <BASEFONT SIZE=4> <FONT SIZE=4 FACE="ARIAL"> <CENTER><H1>Theme 1 Page</H1></CENTER> <TEXTAREA NAME="txtWebBrowser"ROWS=1 COLS=50 style="visibility:visible;position:absolute;top:200;left:40;"> Default Text</TEXTAREA> </FONT> </BODY> </HTML> ---------------------- Launching the webpage by itself will cause the textbox text, initially set to "Default Text", to be changed to "READY" after the page has loaded. Launching the page via running the VB project will cause the webpage textbox text to be changed to "Message from VB6 Code!". I commented out the VB code that will obtain that textbox content. This methodology lets code in the webpage communicate back and forth with VB code via the webpage textbox. This allows synchronizing of code in both of the applications. I've shown the basic way of providing cross communications between the applications, but I'll leave it up to others to do something with it! Maybe someone else will write a complete tutorial and project for others, rather than just a general explanation as I've done here. Winguy Tag: Not working why?? Tag: 167616

For example from Computer1 can I execute a script that will add Server1\Group1 to \\Server1\d$\Data with change access.

    - allowing line breaks in memo fields I'm not sure whether this question strictly speaking belongs to this group, but since a lot of you guys/gals out there are probably using ASP in connection with a database, here goes: As a relative newbie, I have discovered that a memo-type field in my access database does not accept (or simply ignores any attempt to) create line breaks. At least that's what seems to be the case when I created an standard form containing a text area field linked to an access database. When displayed, I would like the text to appear with a line break, for example: "This is line one. This is line two." However, even if insert that line break in the above-mentioned form, the text appears like this: "This is line one. This is line two." Where do I have to make provisions in order to display the line break? In the form page? In the display page? In the access field property? Or all of the above? I use pretty basic ASP/VBS for my pages. Below you can see examples of what would be the form page and and display page related to this question. Thanks in advance TB -- beginning of form page add.asp: ----- <% Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("Adodb.Connection") Dim DSN1 DSN1="Provider=MSDASQL;" DSN1=DSN1& "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; " DSN1=DSN1& "DBQ=C:\web\test.mdb;" Conn.open DSN1 If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") RS.open "Select * From testtable Where 1 = 2;", Conn, 1, 3 RS.AddNew RS("Text") = Request.Form("Text") RS.Update RS.Close Conn.Close Set RS = Nothing Set Conn = Nothing Response.Write ("text added.")%> <a href="list.asp">return</a> <%Else%> <Form Method="Post" Action="add.asp"> <textarea rows="3" name="Text" cols="35"></textarea><br> <input Type="submit" Value="add" name="Submit"> </form> <%End If%> -- End of form page add.asp: ----- -- beginning of display page list.asp: ----- <% Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("Adodb.Connection") Dim DSN1 DSN1="Provider=MSDASQL;" DSN1=DSN1& "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; " DSN1=DSN1& "DBQ=C:\web\test.mdb;" Conn.open DSN1 msql = "SELECT * FROM articulos" Set RS=Conn.Execute(msql) Do While Not RS.EOF response.write "text: " & RS("Text") &"<br>" RS.MoveNext Loop RS.Close Conn.Close Set RS = Nothing Set Conn = Nothing %> -- End of display page list.asp: ----- Tag: Not working why??

    - LogonScript Suggustion Currently I am using KixStart95 to write my logon scripts. Right now I basically say If inGroup "XXXX" then map to \\SERVER\Share If inGroup "XXXX" then map to \\SERVER2\Share3 over and over until I've checked all the possible groups a person could be a member of. I am getting ready to deploy file servers to 150 remote locations connected over 256K Frame Relay and about 8000 users total. All of our DC's are located back at central office where the 256K connections funnel to. At least starting out each user will have only one Group drive which will be on their file server located in their building. Just wondering if anyone had a better way to map these drives without having to have 150-500 If Ingroup lines. I would also like to use as few logon scripts as possible. Obviously one solution would be to give everyone their own script which would provide fast logon but too much maintenance. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Thanks for the help!

    - Missing file extension? We have a VBScript that runs fine from the command line, but when run through CronW, it hangs. While debugging, we had the script print names of the various files it uses. (fileobject.Name) When running from the command line, it will print complete filenames, "somepath\filename.ext", but when running through cronw, we only get "somepath\filename" without the extension. Anyone know any reason it should be like that? All hints appreciated. Cheers, Anders :) Tag: Not working why?? Tag: 167589

What could account for a CreateTextFile "Permission Denied" error using the above code in a WXP Home (or Pro) installation where Everyone has Full Control over the script directory and the user is an Administrator? regards, Andy -- ********** Please send e-mail to: usenet (dot) post (at) aaronoff (dot) com To identify everything that starts up with Windows, download "Silent Runners.vbs" at www.silentrunners.org ********** Tag: Not working why??

    - Prevent access to floppy drive and USB ports Hey, I would like to read in IP's / computer names from a text file and then connect to those computers and somehow prevent users from using both the floppy drive and USB ports by disabling them. I would also like the flexibility of re-enabling them all or just specific ones. I'd appreciate if someone could show me how to do this with a script. Thanks Tag: Not working why?? Tag: 167550

    - Edit REG_BINARY with VBS Does anyone know if there is a way of using a vbs script to edit reg_binary data. I am currently using the WshShell.Run "regedit /s " & SwapFile, 1, true method to do this already. However this means shelling out to another process and i like to know if it can be done within vbs. I am looking to enter this 01,00,00,00 into the registry. Here's the code i'm using... WshShell.RegWrite "HKCR\Folder\shell\NewFolderCommand\","New Directory","REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCR\Folder\shell\NewFolderCommand\EditFlags","01,00,00,00","REG_BINARY" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCR\folder\shell\NewFolderCommand\Command","cmd.exe /c MD %1\NewFolder","REG_SZ" The purpose is that when i right click on a folder within Explorer it will give me an option to create a New Folder without having to go to the File menu all the time - i get sick of doing that.

    - SNMP COM Object Greetings All! I'm looking for an SNMP COM object that I can use either with ASP OR VBScript that will allow me to query a remote agent and send a get request. There's several excellent free ones that exist, but they only allow sending to the default SNMP port of 161. The systems I need to query use a non-standard port for security reasons, which can not be changed. I have yet to find any free objects, nor any paid objects which don't attempt to include "everything but the kitchen sink" in the package. Does anyone know of an SNMP COM/ActiveX object, free or paid for, that can do the following: Query a machine on a non-standard port Allow customized Community names Stores the values into an array for later parsing Any other basic SNMP abilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've been looking for several months now with no luck in finding what I'm looking for. Thanks! Jeremy Tag: Not working why?? Tag: 167484

    - Running VBScript As A Service Could anyone tell me what the advantages are of running a VBScript as a service rather than from a Scheduled Task. And in what situations would you want to do this? I'm writing more and more scripts for people that have to be run once a minute / every five minutes ect... And our task scheduler is getting rather congested. Although I dont see this as a problem, I'm just wondering if any of them could/should be run another way. I would appreciate any advice anyone could offer. TIA, Colin Tag: Not working why?? Tag: 167472
