    RegEx to Match Stupid Time Format and Convert to Something Better

    Open Internet Explorer from Firefox

    I have a intranet website. The users on this intranet may use Firefox or Internet Explorer. There is an important page which I don't control on a sharepoint that is all messed up when opened with Firefox. I would like to make a link to it that, if one is in Firefox it will launch Internet...

    Moving Cursor to End?

    I am working on a template. I have several autotext entries that will be placed in the template based on the choices a user makes in a user form. Putting 1 autotext entry in works fine... subsequent autotext entries merely overwrite the previous (or first) so that in the end the only autotext...

    Excel Template containing custom toolbar loses way to macros

    This has to do with Excel templates (.xlt) and vba for excel macros. I have the same question as was posted in this very short thread.. thread707-1150241 Nobody answered that question (3 years ago!). In my case, it works after I assign the macro.. but as soon as I exit from excel and...

    Automatically Tab to Next Field in Excel User Form

    I have an Excel user form that has some 'fixed' length fields (two digits) and for convenience sake I would like to be able to enter the required number of digits and have the focus change to the next field without having to use the tab key or reposition the mouse cursor. I've looked through a...

    Copy a file that is in use?

    I sometimes have to connect to remote machines and copy files. It is fairly trivial to script a solution that works well for idle files, but if I need to retrieve an Outlook personal folder file, it is always in use, as Outlook is holding it open, and it will not copy. Is there a way, using...

    I'm trying to determine if there is a way to create an access database and then create a table within the newly created database using vbscript? I know how to connect to an existing database and add, delete, modify records in a table, but I would like to be able to create a new database from a...

    If one has a date-time value, such as 1152227980.843, how can that be converted to something like mmm-dd-year hh:ss ? Does anyone know of a vbscript function that can do that? strebor

    Read meta data from jpeg image file

    Is there a way, using vbscript, to read the meta data, particularly the dimensions, from a jpeg file as it is loaded into an html document? I have a tool that fetches images from the Internet using proxy log data and I would like to proportionately resize them, quasi-thumbnail, based on their...

    Outlook Attachments, redux

    I am trying to creat a macro that copies the attachments from a selection of emails and places them in another Outlook folder. From the documentation, I know this can't be done directly. One must save the files to a Windows directory (for example ...\local settings\temp ) and then ? Well, I know...

    Resolve GUID to friendly user name

    I have a vbscript that converts an nt security event log to an html document (stripping out the events that are not helpful in determining user logons and logoffs). The event log must first be saved as .csv file. Problem: In some circumstances the security event log is captured from a machine...

    Input mask for an ip address?

    I would like to format an input mask for entering ip addresses... 255.255.255.0, or 136.14.122.1 or 14.122.2.133. If the user just puts 2 digits in one of the octets, the mask would format the string correctly. Any ideas? It could be that masks won't do it, and that a better way would be to...
