Microsoft® Embedded Handheld?

Hi,

Anyone know if compiled MS scripts would run on "Microsoft® Embedded Handheld 6.5 Professional"?

I do not have a device to test on.

Re: Send Keys To Object Wizard

Trying to figure out which case it is. If incompatible control, I am stuck. If "crosshairs" return wrong handle is there anything I can try to get right handle?

thanks,

allow users to run or schedule, but not edit scripts

Hello, I have a complex script that users will run on demand and they may want to schedule / adjust schedule. I don't want them being able to get near the 2000 + lines of code. Is there any way to allow them to run /schedule inside MS (they will buy license) without giving them access to the script ...

I liked the sound of that method but in my earlier testing I ran into some issues with it because the dialog I was trying to open also has button with same hotkey as its underlying dialog. Buffered keystrokes were causing pr...

Re: FTP site file names with dates and times

I had seen that command and tested with type = "L". -I did not test with the necessary type of "D" because the help file states: "Type can be either D or L, where D obtains a full directory listing, including directories, subdirectories and their contents. L creates a simple file list, containing ju...

FTP site file names with dates and times

Hi,

Anyone have a script to share that grabs file list with dates and times from FTP?

For example, every hour I need to make sure new copy of file XYZ has been uploaded. the file name does not change, but the date and time will.

Thanks,

Bob

change computername via script with variables

Hi,

Has anyone figured out how to change computer name via script?

Ideally I would like to compile the script and pass it a variable at runtime that contains the new hostname.

run>ChangeComputerName.exe mynewmachinename

Thanks in advance,

Bob
