I am new to posting to Stack but have been using this site to solve a lot of coding issues so I know some of the basics. I have tried for hours (that's a lot for me on one issue) to get past this problem. I am creating a local tool (HTA) to eventually manage CSV files however I am stuck on this first part.
I am creating an explorer type selection tool where you pick the root folder it will load each subfolder as a button, it works great except if a subfolder has a space it spits out "Unterminated String Constant". I have worked around most the issues but since I want it to call back using this name I can not simply take out the space or replace it because clicking it's button will not work.
Any help would be VERY appreciated!
P.S. It's unfinished and I am so sorry there are no comments or descriptions...
P.S.S. Please let me know any noob things you see too... whether it be site etiquette, or coding. Thanks!!! Stackoverflow has been a huge help for me!!!
Issue is on line:

Wrong quote placement. Splitted to make it more visible
Dim td
td = Array( _
"<td>" _
, "<input type='button'" _
, " value='", objFolder.Name, "'" _
, " name='btn_" , strFolderName, "'" _
, " onClick='btnCall(""" , objFolder.Name , """)'" _
, "></td><br>" _
)
strHtml = strHtml & Join(td,"")
Try using this helpful Function DblQuote(Str) to add the double quotes into a variable
Function DblQuote(Str)
DblQuote = Chr(34) & Str & Chr(34)
End Function
So your code become something like that :

I'm running a few subs once the user submits the form. However, the timer hangs as soon as the vbs kicks off the portion of the code which launch excel in the back and runs a macro. Wondering how I can improve my code to fix this/ if it's possible. Thanks in advance.

So in case anyone runs into this issue, the way this could be resolved is to separate the sub that actually calls the excel sheet and triggers the macro and simply call the vbs versus the excel workbook.
I.e.
Sub ExecuteScoreCard()
sleepy
disablebtns
sleepy
ProgressBarViz
sleepy

set wsh = Nothing

And this was not my answer but another user on expert-exchange. Works perfectly though.
I am having trouble displaying a log file in the TextArea of a HTA while a robocopy script is running.
The script is simple enough, the user has one button to press to start the process, selects where they want to back up their data to, a Robocopy runs in the background and logs the work.
I cannot get the .log file to display live during the process and am always hit with an error 800A01B6.

I'm having an use where the <input type="file"> is locking the file for the ADODB.recordset.
If I hardcode the filepath the code runs without an issue however as soon as I browse using input type of file and select the hardcoded file it locks the file and I can no longer access it via the recordset.
I've tried just around everything I can think of without any success. I know its a result of the input browse function because if I select another file within the same directory or click the process button without browsing the code runs as it should.
Below is the relevant html and vbscript. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I had exactly this problem today. I got around it by making a copy of the input file in a subfolder, then connecting to that with the ADODB.Connection
dim txtfile: txtfile = document.getElementById("filename").Value
dim fso: set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim tablename: tablename = fso.GetFileName(txtfile)
' we'll create the folder as a subfolder to the current one
dim currentfolder: currentfolder = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(".")
' create new paths until we have a new one
dim newpath: newpath = fso.BuildPath(currentfolder, fso.GetTempName())
do while fso.folderExists(newpath)
newpath = fso.BuildPath(currentfolder, fso.GetTempName())
loop
' create the folder & copy the input file
fso.createFolder newpath
fso.copyfile txtfile, fso.buildpath(newpath, tablename)
'connect and process
ado.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & newpath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited"""
ado.open
'... etc
' clear up the temp folder
fso.deleteFolder newpath, true
I'm trying to create an HTA To Do List saving locally to a text file. Every time you press submit button generates a new entry that display inside hta body and it's being saved inside the text file. I want to develop this furthermore :
delete an entry and update body/text file
modify an entry and update body/text file
put new entry on top
Any suggestions?

Are you particularly tied to using text files? If you used a database (such as access) you could do this quite easily (you don't have to have access installed to use an access database with an HTA either). And it would open up some other possibilities.
Incidentally, I also notice you're doing this:
strHTML = strHTML & "<p>" & strTime & "</p>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<p>" & strDate & "</p>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<p>" & strTitle & "</p>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<p>" & strMessage & "</p>"
Not a big thing, but concatenating the strings like that isn't great for performance. You'd be better off writing it all to the variable at the same time, otherwise it has to keep writing the variable to memory over and over again.
If you want to read a file with HTA you can easily do it in javaScript. Since the context changes IE allws you to directly read file on the computer or the network to wich the computer is linked to. In order to do so, you need to access the File System Object (FSO)
Full Documentation on FSO
If you are still looking to access a database you need to use the ADODB.Connection. That will allow you to connect to database localy or remotely. Altought there is not much documentation on the subject we did it at my work place. With a little imagination you can figure out how to fix it.
Documentation on the ADODB.Connnect
In this documentation the example are in VB but you can write them in JS as well.
