also, is there a way to add a memo box? If I am going to use this as a login script "GUI" then I will not know how much data will be displayed.

can you also hide the window bar on top to remove the close button? that is biggest thing I am trying to get rid of.

Thanks for the post. What I am actually looking for is the VBSCRIPT that would be able to read form check box.

That is a good suggestion. I wonder what the speed is like... I went to the link but I couldn't see any sample scripts. Can you email me some of them? I would like to take a look. Thanks for the info

I am writing a VB form that is called from a vb script to display login info for our domain login script. I am able to pass variables to the VB app from my vbscript, but I want to pass the values to my vbscript from the VB. Basically I have a check box on the VB app that I want to read from the...

Is there a way to create a nice GUI window to gather data input from a user when a Perl script is running? From what I can see a DOS like window is generated. I would like to have something that looks a like better. Any ideas?

I have a Perl script that I would like to install as a Windows service and have it run every x minutes. I know this can be done with PerlSvc. Could someone give me a little sample script on how I should accomplish this?

Thanks for all your help guys. This is what I finally did and all your input helped greatly. $Caption=$PRINFO->{caption}; $Vendor=$PRINFO->{vendor}; $sth=$db->prepare("UPDATE win32_product set Caption=?, Vendor=? WHERE PCID = $PCID AND PRNUM =...

1 more thing. This script will be compiled as an exe on run as a service on Windows boxes if that makes any difference.

Here is my code: my $Caption=param('PRINFO->{caption}'); my $Vendor=param('PRINFO->{vendor}'); my $insert=$db->prepare("UPDATE win32_product(Caption,Vendor) values(?,?)"); $sth->execute($Caption,$Vendor); $sth->finish();

Do I need to setup a subroutine for param? I am getting an error when I run the code: Undefined subroutine &main::param called at C:\Perl\scripts\client.pl line 178.

Maybe should have explained a little better. When I query WMI I get "Daemon's House" back as the result. This result could change depending on what record is returned from WMI. I will never know the result up front. Is there a way to take a string and tell PERL to ignore it? Hopefully I...
