Start timer on button click HTA - vbscript

I have a timer which I would like to start after a button is clicked versus using the now() variable on launch. I'm lifting the code from MSFT Script Centre. I believe the correct implementation would be to wrap the
pbStartTime = Now
line around an if argument. However, I'm not sure about the logic behind button clicked. Thanks in advance.

You could add a Start button, just like your ABORT button. Modify your Sub Window_OnLoad rename it to Sub StartProcess or something. Then in the new Start button that you created, add an onClick="StartProcess" attribute.
<input type="Button" value="START" name="button2" onClick="StartProcess" class="button">

HTA variable not working with VBScript objShell function inside Sub

I have an HTA that I want to pop into focus every hour as a reminder in case it's minimised or has the focus taken away from it. The problem I'm having is there's a Sub that's not recognising variables. I'll post the code and then explain:

</HTML>
If you're so inclined, you can save this code as MOEUpgrade.hta and it should run for you without any issues. This code works and pops up a message box showing the strProcName and strProcID variables as expected, but when I change line 58 inside the NagWindow Sub to:
objShell.AppActivate strProcName.strProcID
It fails with an object required ('strProcName') error. Does anyone know why the variables are not being recognised when using the objShell function please but are when using MsgBox?
The reason for the error
Object required: 'strProcName'
is because you try to call strProcID as an object property of strProcName but it is clear from the code that both strProcName and strProcID are string variables.
If you are trying to use AppActivate with the Window Process Id you likely want to try;
Call objShell.AppActivate(strProcID)

WshShell.AppActivate doesn't seem to work in simple vbs script
Use AppActivate to change the active window

Different MsgBox after each iteration

Ekkehard.Horner helped me a lot with the following code (already modified by me). But now I'm looking for a way to add a counter each time the MsgBox "message 1" is displayed.

The result I'm looking for is something like:
If bF Then
MsgBox "all done"
window.close()
Else
MsgBox "message 1" 'counter + 1
ElseIf counter = 2 Then
MsgBox "message 2" 'counter + 1

MsgBox "message 4" 'counter + 1
ElseIf counter = 5 Then
MsgBox "message 5" 'no more counting needed because of window.close()
window.close()
End If
I tried different things like Do..Loop, but my counter never goes beyond 1.
Really struggling to understand the basics of counting in VBScript.
You need a global variable to preserve the count across procedure calls and an array with the messages that you access using the counter as the index. Change your code to something like this:
<script language="VBScript">
Dim ctr : ctr = 0
messages = Array( "message 1", _
"message 2", _
"message 3", _
"message 4", _
"aborting"
)
...
Sub OnClickButtonSyncNow
...
If bF Then
MsgBox "all done"
window.Close
Else
MsgBox messages(ctr)
If ctr >= 4 Then window.Close
ctr = ctr + 1
End If
End Sub
...

HTA : how to pick up value from each drop down list and search?

I am trying to make this HTA working, what it does is to add up all value from each drop down list and search accordingly in a directory that can be selected from another button. I can only make the form of this HTA but dont know how to make the search working.
Also how can I move the directory selection button to the beginning of the line?
so user can pick up directory first then pick what they want to search.

The final HTA should look like this, the search result need to be displayed below the drop down list as text file within a scrollable window and having full path of the files.
In next HTA only necessary changes made to display the search result below the drop down list as a scrollable text area and having full paths of the files.
On start, a user is prompted to select initial directory (see WindowsLoad call within the Window_Onload procedure; then all files are displayed as no search criteria selected yet.
Search completed in code for extension only to show a possible how-to approach (one of few).
Used a simple StyleSheet.
Some variables defined script (application) global to keep their visibility within all procedures.
Further elementary changes: see the code below.

I was stumped, so I rewrote this in vbscript.
I have included bits of what I did to give you an idea of how to write to a text file, and validate your form with an HTA.
The vbscript:
Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
strSender = wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%USERNAME%" ) ' Get the current Username
Dim Checkmark
Sub Validate
If form.Flag.checked = True Then ' Find out if your Checkbox is checked
Checkmark = "*"
Else
Checkmark = ""
End IF
If form.field1.value = "" Then ' Validate the form
alert "Please enter an number!", "0", "Title"
ElseIf IsNumeric(form.field1.value) = False Then
alert "Please enter a valid number!", "0", "Title"
ElseIf form.drop_down1.Value = "" Then
alert "Please select a save location!", "0", "Title"
ElseIf form.field1.value < 100000 Then
alert "Please enter a six digit number!", "0", "Title"
ElseIf form.field1.value > 999999 Then
alert "Please enter a six digit number!", "0", "Title"
Else
SaveData
End If
End Sub
Sub SaveData ' Write data to a text file
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(form.drop_down1.Value) Then
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(form.drop_down1.Value, 8)
strLine = form.field1.value & vbtab & Checkmark & vbtab & strSender & vbtab & Now ' fields that will be written
objFile.WriteLine strLine
MsgBox "The Information was successfully written to the file.", "0", "Title"
objFile.Close
Else
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(form.drop_down1.Value) ' If file does not exist, create file
strLine = form.field1.value & vbtab & Checkmark & vbtab & strSender & vbtab & Now
objFile.WriteLine strLine
MsgBox "The Information was successfully written to the file.", "0", "Title"
objFile.Close
End If
End Sub
The HTML:
<form name="form">
<h2>Imput</h2>
<tr><td><lable>Data: </lable></td><td><input type="text" name="field1" size="25"></td> </tr>
<tr><td><lable>Save Location: </lable></td><td><select name="drop_down1">
<option type="text" name="select" value="">Select an option</option>
<option type="text" value="SavePath1...">SavePath1</option>
<option type="text" value="SavePath2...">SavePath2</option>
<option type="text" value="SavePath3...">SavePath3</option>
</select></td><td><input type="checkbox" name="Flag" value="">Flag *</td></tr>
</table>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="Validate">
<input type='reset' id='ResetFields' value='Clear Fields' />
</form>
