I'm 15 years old and I want to learn how to program computers. I like to think I'm more experienced with computers than the average person, I use the command prompt every day and I know how to access the command line in the command prompt but I have no idea what programs I should start with and what language to use. Would I be better off...
At my place of employment, they have a system that uses VBScript to build fields when loading up a record. The advantage is that it works on various database backends the same way and also makes sure that the record is loaded the same every time. It also allows customers access to make some minor changes to the way the system works in ...
Can someone help me modify this please? Instead of the dialog box appearing at the start to ask for computer ID/Name, is there anyway for this to be automatically put in, so its all automatic?

I'm launching WinPE 2 from a bootable UFD, and I need to detect the drive letter in order to tell ImageX where to find the WIM. However, depending on the machine I'm imaging, there are different mounted drives. I need a way to consistently mount the UFD at, say, P: or something. Is there a way to detect the letter of the drive from wh...

After much experience scripting in the Unix/Linux open-source world, using languages such as Bourne Shell, Perl, Python, and Ruby, I now find myself needing to do some Windows XP administration scripting. It appears that the legacy environment is Windows Script Host (WSH), which can use various scripting languages, but the primary langua...

My client is using Access as a front end to a SQL Server database. They recently started getting ODBC - 3146 errors from time to time when running some reports. From what I can tell, this is just a generic ODBC call failed error. I've tried sticking some error handling in the VB script that is launching the reports, but I am not havin...
I've got a VBScript that calls a Visual FoxPro Instance and runs a VFP program. Part of this program produces a messagebox. However, if my script is run from the Windows GUI (rather than a Command Prompt), then the message box produced doesn't necessarily come to the foreground. In VBScript I have the following code: Set oVFP = Creat...

Once the file is dropped, I would either automatically run it (assuming it fits some parameters I set, like file extension), or at least fill in the input box on the HTA interface. I've searched extensively, but can't find a ...

In order to show the part selection on the child window, I need to call a GetParts function from the parent window and return the recordset to the child. Here's some code to help: From the child wind...
I maintain a good number of vbscripts for performing various startup scripts on my network and have a handful of functions that I use in almost all of them. Short of copy and paste, does anyone have suggestions for how I can go about creating libraries of reusable vbscript code. I'm not averse to using a code generator for doing so as ...
OK.. I am not really good at asking questions, but the title says it all. I got my script querying Active Directory to work when called from the command windows, but it won't work on my ASP page. Instead of echo("message") in the VBS file, I used Response.Redirect(message) in my ASP. So here's the code that is working fine in the CMD wi...
