@PepsiHog I'm a Coke guy, what else can I do? :lol: Seriously though, if you can use ANY variable name without having to think about it, what happens when somewhere later in the program you have a typo in the name of one of your "might or might not be used" variables? You may not realize it until ye...

OK, figured out how to answer my own question. RunProgram>cmd will run the 32 bit version of cmd.exe on a Win 7/64 system.

I have a follow-up question which may also affect what montanan is doing. On win7/64 something run directly from the command prompt uses the 64 bit version of cmd.exe. I think I'm correct in stating that even the latest Macro Scheduler is a 32 bit program, and in that case does RunProgram>cmd run th...

I did tinker with something like that and the classic blinking eyes* but as you can see from JRL's twirly the message window doesn't use a monospaced font so alignment is a problem. I'll bet JRL could do it in a dialog though :wink:

Good you found a work around :) I can't imagine why removing MODI in Office 2010 was a good idea :? One Note does have OCR and AFAIK it's included in all versions of 2010 and can be scripted (VBA at least) so maybe that could be an alternative solution.

I agree, it would be very nice. This topic does make me wonder (again) why the If>expression,true_label_name,false_label_name form is deprecated :?

VBScript has Select Case, maybe that has possibilities?

Another, and possibly better, solution would be to automate WMIC which can dump an installed program list to a text file:

Code: Select all

Run Program>wmic /output:c:\yourfolder\proglist.txt product get name,version
You'll have to play with the options to get exactly what you want.

I do recall reading something about ODBC and W7, like there is no driver. I'll try to find the reference.
