    Get return parameters from VBScript

    Hello, I have tried several ways of execuing VBScripts, but none of them return the return parameter from the Script. My script ends with WScript.quit(<parameter>) - so I should be able to access to parameter somehow. If I use Shell Execute or WinExec I just get the returnparameter of that...

I am not interested in using third party components (WinAPI are o.k. since I can assume that they are present on any machine running windows) but I would like to be able to include this functionality into my projects straight away.

    eventSender &amp; eventArgs

    Here we go... I'm taking my first steps with VB.NET, but so far I've just come up with a lot of questions. Can anyone explain the eventSender (System.Object) and eventArgs (System.EventArgs) that are passed for many functions? What values should I pass to a function that requires these, and...

    Installing .NET

    Just a couple of things I ran across installning .NET (i run .NET on a computer with Win2K advanced server): 1. The install is very sensitive - when they say close all other applications - do so! 2. The progress meters are not very good, my installation went on for what seemed like ages...

The datacombo has a built in search function, but I want the highlighted row in the list to change when the user types text, and I also want the selected item to be automatically filled in. I hope I'm not rambling, but if...

    I have tried to solve this problem for quite a while without any success, I just can't figure out what's going wrong. The code opens one recordset which is retrieved from a db, then a second recordset is generated that is a copy of the first but with one boolean field added. Everything goes...

    Hello Is there a good way to get the previous control on a form? In MS Access this was a property, but VB does not seem to support the same feature. I need this for a form with several textboxes for dates, and one button that opens a calendar control -> when the user closes the calendar...

    3 Questions for the wise

    I'm quite new to VB, so I hope these questions are easy to find an answer to: 1. The 'SHBrowseForFolderA' function from lib 'shell32' works fine in MS Access but not at all in VB, why? 2. How to return the date from a calender control on a separate form (or any other variable). At the moment...

    Decimal problem in ADO

    If I open a ADO-recordset in code I don't get any decimals. If I use the exact same connection string and select-string in a ADODC-control everything works fine. If I try to use the ADODC control and assign connection string and record source at runtime it won't work either, only if I set it at...

    Saving values

    How can I save variables in an .EXE without using INI or other textfiles? What I need is a way to store e.g. a path in the EXE and retreive the same path the next time the EXE is started without reading any other file. Mats

    Exporting text from ADO rst

    This is more of a general question... What would be a good way to handle data to be exported to a text file? I often need to create a procedure that exports records into a specified format(fixed lenghts, decimals, padding zeroes etc.) Now I always write specific code to go trough every record...

    Does anybody have code for directly writing and reading text-files from Access? What I would want to do is write txt-files line by line or read a specific line from a text-file. I know how to import/export files in access, but I'm looking for a simpler way of e.g. doing a find and replace in a...
