Can not run vbs with current Folder directory - vbscript

It is my first vbs experience.
I try to keep my Problem short.
This one works, when I run it with my .bat:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
ExcelMacroExample
Sub ExcelMacroExample()
Dim xlApp
Dim xlBook
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\.....\RunScript.xlsm", 0,
True)
xlApp.Run "Auto_Open"
xlApp.Quit
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
And this one works (shows me my corect current directory with my file):
Dim oFSO
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sScriptDir = oFSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
Wscript.Echo sScriptDir & "\RunScript.xlsm"
But if I combine them, it does not work:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
ExcelMacroExample
Sub ExcelMacroExample()
Dim xlApp
Dim xlBook
Dim oFSO
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sScriptDir = oFSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
Set fileDirectory = sScriptDir & "\RunScript.xlsm"
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(fileDirectory, 0,
True)
xlApp.Run "Auto_Open"
xlApp.Quit
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub

Like I said, thank you Dave. That works.
However I found another issue, now with vbA inside the RunScript.xlsm
This code works with the vbS before:
Sub Auto_Open()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\...\MyCSV.csv" _
, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
Application.Quit
End Sub
But if I change here the path, it just works when I run the RunScript.xlsm, but not when I run my vbS:
Sub Auto_Open()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Dim relativePath As String
relativePath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.path & "\MyCSV.csv"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=relativePath, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
Application.Quit
End Sub
I think it is beacause of the ActiveWorkbook, I tried already ThisWorkbook, and I tried it without Application.

Downloading File on Google Drive to Run Macro

I am trying to get a .vbs to download files from google drive as I have had it working as a macro inside excel. It would just be overall easier without needing to go into excel to run the script. I have tried to Frankenstein the working code within the macro which downloads the file to downloads with some other but have got lost. I am still a rookie so if the code is less than ideal would appreciate some feedback.
As a note: The userprofile was attempted to be set as variable for multiple users with differently mapped download folders to still run it.
Ran macro in excel which achieved downloading the file.
Tried to create .vbs with similar code and failed

creating a VBScript to grab fonts from fileserver

I'm trying to create a VBS script that will grab all the fonts from the server font location so that the domain user will have the ability to use them. When I run this script I get a line 15 char 1 error: 800A400C.
Not sure what is wrong with it or if this script will do the job I'm wanting it to do.

Invalid Procedure call or argument when changing path

I tried to combine a couple different scripts, which works fine until I change the path of strPath. The moment I change it to anything else I get an error message
Invalid Procedure call or argument.
The script is meant to find the latest file in any directory (including subfolders), and copy and paste the file into a folder
Dim strPath, oFSO, oFile, oFolder, dteDate, strName, N
strPath = "C:\Users\parjo16\Documents\Archived"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
If oFile.DateLastModified > dteDate Then
dteDate = oFile.DateLastModified
strName = oFile.Name
End If
N = N + 1
Next 'oFile
Call FindTheSubFolderFiles(oFolder, N, dteDate, strNme)
Const strfolder = "C:\SalaryData\"
Const Overwrite = True
Dim oFSOd
Set oFSOd = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not oFSOd.FolderExists(strfolder) Then
oFSOd.CreateFolder strfolder
End If
oFSOd.CopyFile strNme, strfolder & "salaries.xlsx", Overwrite
Set oFSOd = Nothing
Set oFSO = Nothing
Set oFile = Nothing
Set oFolder = Nothing

Dim oSubFolder
Dim oFile

If oFile.DateLastModified > dteDte Then
dteDte = oFile.DateLastModified

End If
lngR = lngR + 1
Next
FindTheSubFolderFiles oSubFolder, lngR, dteDte, strNme
Next 'oSubFolder
Set oSubFolder = Nothing
Set oFile = Nothing
End Function
Looks like the script was doing two checks, one for the main folder, one for the subfolder. If the result is the other, then it comes back blank.
This seems to be working now:
Function FindTheSubFolderFiles(ByRef oParentFolder, ByRef lngR, ByRef dteDte, ByRef strNme)

Asking for a little assistance with cleanup and error

I have been given a task of creating a script that takes a log file (date is in the filename), pulls the data and posts it in event manager. I have a script that works as it should I know the script is ugly so please be gentle. I'm looking for 2 things.
some days nothing has happened and no log for the day was created. when this happens my script causes all kinds of slowness in the PC. I need help with a way for the script to not do its task if no new file has been added to the logs folder.
I would like a little help cleaning up the script.
Like i said i'm very new to this and i used scripts found on the web and fit them to do what i needed them to do.
any help would be greatly appricated.

You can block your Dim'd variables
You are reactivating the objShell to many times
You have a for loop at the bottom of your code without a Next statement.
You don't need to iterate through the log file until it reaches AtEndOfStream, just store it in a variable first.
You can use the same objFSO more than once if your not resetting the object.
You need to include error handling so you know where your code breaks.
Revised code.

Excel Search in subfolders

Using the following code that I pulled from the web, I'm able to do a search in a single directory for excel files containing a string in a certain row. How would I allow this to be recursive in all the subfolders as well? I've found a few answers but I just don't understand how I would implement them in my code. I only started messing with VBScript yesterday and I'm pretty confused about how to make this work.
strComputer = "CAA-W74109188"
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application", strComputer)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set FileList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_Directory.Name='c:\TDRS'} Where " _
& "ResultClass = CIM_DataFile")
For Each objFile In FileList
If (objFile.Extension = "xlsm" or objFile.Extension = "xls") Then
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(objFile.Name)
Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
If objExcel.Cells(3,10) = "Complete" or objExcel.Cells(3,9) = "Released" Then
Wscript.Echo objFile.FileName
End If
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objworkbook.Saved = False
objWorkbook.Close False
End If
Next
objExcel.Quit
Here is an script that I used to delete files with, which I have modified for your needs. A recursive function is what you need to get the job done and I have always found them to be interesting and kind of hard to wrap my head around.
Dim Shell : Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
Dim oFSO : Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim objExcel : Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Dim Paths(0)
Paths(0) = "c:\temp"
For Each Path in Paths
FolderScan(Path)
Next
Sub FolderScan(Folder)
Set base = oFSO.GetFolder(Folder)
If base.SubFolders.Count Then
For Each folder in Base.SubFolders
FolderScan(folder.Path)
Next
End If
Set files = base.Files
If files.Count Then
For Each File in files
If LCase(oFSO.GetExtensionName(File.Path) = "xlsm") or _
LCase(oFSO.GetExtensionName(File.Path) = "xls") Then
Dim objWorkbook : Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(File.Path)
Dim objWorkSheet : Set objWorkSheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
If (objExcel.Cells(3,10) = "Complete" or _
objExcel.Cells(3,9) = "Released") Then
Wscript.echo File.Path
End if
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.Quit
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
Here's a generic, recursive function that iterates all files and subfolders of a given folder object.
Dim FileSystem
Set FileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
DoFolder FileSystem.GetFolder("c:\somefolder")
Sub DoFolder(Folder)
Dim SubFolder
For Each SubFolder In Folder.SubFolders
DoFolder SubFolder
Next
Dim File
For Each File In Folder.Files
' Operate on each file
Next
End Sub
