I am Using below code to open autocad file :
Dim DwgName As String
On Error Resume Next
Set acadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
If Err Then
Set acadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD .Application")
Err.Clear
End If
Set acadDoc = acadApp.ActiveDocument
If acadDoc.FullName <> DwgName Then
acadDoc.Open DwgName
End If
Dim str As String, str1 As String
str1 = "_-insert" & vbLf & """" & "C:\AZ665.dwg" & """" & vbLf & "0,0,0" & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & "z" & vbLf & "a" & vbLf
acadDoc.SendCommand str1
acadApp.Visible = True
Above code working fine.But everytime I have to create "str1" string in order to make any changes. Hence I am writting scipt in ".scr" file.But unable to call this file.
Please help.
The following code will read a .scr file and create the string you need for your SendCommand
Dim strData as string
x = FreeFile
Open "myscript.scr" For Input As #x
Do
Line Input #x, strData
str1 = str1 & strData & vbNewLine
If EOF(x) Then Exit Do
Loop
Close #x
I found below solution :
acadDoc.SendCommand "_script" & vbCr & ScriptFilePath & vbCr

I have created a VB script that I am calling from my batch file on Windows 10. The script is something like this:
Set startupShortcut = sh.CreateShortcut("%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MyApplication.lnk")
startupShortcut.IconLocation = "C:\Users\MyUser\MyApplication\resources\MyApplication.ico"
startupShortcut.TargetPath = "C:\Users\MyUser\MyApplication\MyApplication-1.4.4.jar"
startupShortcut.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Users\MyUser\MyApplication"
startupShortcut.Save
The shortcut path here has a space in "Start Menu" string. Running it does not create any shortcut at the mentioned path, but when I use a path without shortcut for eg. Desktop, it works fine.
I really need help to understand how I can use paths having space in them.
Here is a subroutine example that can be used for creating a shortcut :
Option Explicit
Const Title = "Create a shortcut for the current vbscript or any other application with arguments using an array"
Call RunAsAdmin()
Create_Shortcut Array("Desktop","Recent","shell:Recent")
Create_Shortcut Array("Desktop","User profile","%userprofile%")

Set objShortCut = objShell.CreateShortcut(ShortcutPath & "\" & ShortcutName & ".lnk")
TargetPath = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(rArgs(2))
objShortCut.TargetPath = TargetPath
If ShortcutPath = "" Then

End If

I used & to connect 2 paths with spaces and it worked well for me:
startupShortcutPath = "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\" & "\Start Menu\Programs\MyApplication\MyApplication.lnk"
I have a code that copies a file from one location to another. What I would like it that when the file is copied, the recordID is placed in front of the file name (example: 150-FirstName). Here is the code I'm working with:
Private Sub cmd_LocateFile_Click()
On Error GoTo Error_Handler
Dim sFile As String
Dim sFolder As String
sFile = FSBrowse("", msoFileDialogFilePicker, "All Files (*.*),*.*")
If sFile <> "" Then
sFolder = Application.CodeProject.path & "\" & sAttachmentFolderName & "\"
If FolderExist(sFolder) = False Then MkDir (sFolder)
If CopyFile(sFile, sFolder & GetFileName(sFile)) = True Then
Me.FullFileName = sFolder & GetFileName(sFile)
Else
End If
End If
Error_Handler_Exit:
On Error Resume Next
Exit Sub
Error_Handler:
MsgBox "The following error has occured" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _
"Error Source: " & sModName & "\cmd_LocateFile_Click" & vbCrLf & _
"Error Description: " & Err.Description & _
Switch(Erl = 0, "", Erl <> 0, vbCrLf & "Line No: " & Erl) _
, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "An Error has Occured!"
Resume Error_Handler_Exit
End Sub
Try with:
Dim Id As Long
Dim sTarget As String
Id = YourRecordID ' Set current record id.
sTarget = sFolder & CStr(Id) & "-" & GetFileName(sFile)
' Replace your current If-Then-Else-End If block.
If CopyFile(sFile, sTarget)) = True Then
Me!FullFileName.Value = sTarget
End If
I have put together a script that I think will work, but the only code I know is some VBA. Never tried to create a vbscript before, so my apologies if some errors are obvious, but pointers and corrections would be appreciated.
I am hoping I can give users in my company a link to this script and have them run it. It will create a folder on their C Drive, make it a trusted location, copy a database frontend from the server into it and create a shortcut on their desktop linking to the new file. (I'm hoping the file will auto-update when a new version is made - I think that bit works though).
The code comes from various sources, including my own addled mind but would I need to download Visual Studio to test this? Slightly concerned as it includes creating a registry key and I don't know how to stop the code if it all goes horribly wrong. I don't even know how to break a loop (although I think I read somewhere you need to hit Esc twice). Any tips on how to signify which sub is the main one to run on start would be good too.
EDIT : Code has been amended to my end result incase it is of use to others. Please use with caution. The 'update' vbs deletes the folder created on the local drive.

There is also a separate Update vbs which is what runs when the link is clicked. This checks to see if the 'created date' of the database on the server is newer than that on the local drive. The new DB name MUST NOT be the same as the one it is replacing. It might run a little fast, but this is as far as I have taken this.

i am creating a .vbs file that should open access, and inside access a form call "Issue Details", but passing a parameter, meaning that if i have 10 issues in my "Issues" table a vbs file is created for each one and when clicked should open the right record(would be one ID for each record in the table). It is so far opening access and it is opening the form(Issue Details) but it is blank. What am i missing? Help, getting crazy here ... Check code below. The weird thing here is that if i double click it again it will refresh and open the right record without opening anymore windows..
How can i fix that? I dont want to do it twice :)
Public Sub sendMRBmail(mrbid)
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid
End Sub
Private Sub Create_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command48_Click
Dim snid As Integer
snid = Me.ID
Dim filename As String
filename = "S:\Quality Control\vbs\QC" & snid & ".vbs"
Dim proc As String
proc = Chr(34) & "sendMRBmail" & Chr(34)
Dim strList As String
strList = "On Error Resume Next" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "dim accessApp" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "set accessApp = createObject(" & Chr(34) & "Access.Application" & Chr (34)")" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "accessApp.OpenCurrentDataBase(" & Chr(34) & "S:\Quality Control\Quality DB\Quality Database.accdb" & Chr(34) & ")" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "accessApp.Run " & proc & "," & Chr(34) & snid & Chr(34) & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "set accessApp = nothing" & vbNewLine
Open filename For Output As #1
Print #1, strList

Found the problem. Changed instruction below, adding acFormEdit to it and it worked:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid, acFormEdit
I need some excel vba examples, where with in the VBA code(Excel Macro) i could call a VBScript and will get some values like filename and directory information from the vbscript and assign it to the variables in VBA code.
Thank you in advance
Some thing like this
VBA macro:
Sub Foo2Script
Dim x As Long
x=2
'Call VBscript here
MsgBox scriptresult
End Sub
VBScript:
Dim x, y ,Z
x = x_from_macro
y = x + 2
Z = X+Y
scriptresult = y,Z
It can be done but I would have to agree with Tomalak and others that it's not the best way to go. However, saying that, VBScript can work wonders occasionally if you use it as a kind of fire and forget mechanism. It can be used quite effectively to simulate multi-threading in VBA whereby you breakdown the payload and farm it out to individual VBScripts to run independently. Eg you could arrange a "swarm" of individual VBScripts to mass download from websites in the background whilst VBA continues with other code.
Below is some VBA code I've simplified to show what can be done and writes a simple VBScript on the fly. Normally I prefer to run it using 'wshShell.Run """" & SFilename & """" which means I can forget about it but I've included in this example this method Set proc = wshShell.exec(strexec) which allows a test of the object for completion
Put this in MODULE1
Option Explicit
Public path As String
Sub writeVBScript()
Dim s As String, SFilename As String
Dim intFileNum As Integer, wshShell As Object, proc As Object
Dim test1 As String
Dim test2 As String
test1 = "VBScriptMsg - Test1 is this variable"
test2 = "VBScriptMsg - Test2 is that variable"
'write VBScript (Writes to Excel Sheet1!A1 & Calls Function Module1.ReturnVBScript)
s = s & "Set objExcel = GetObject( , ""Excel.Application"") " & vbCrLf
s = s & "Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks(""" & ThisWorkbook.Name & """)" & vbCrLf
s = s & "Set oShell = CreateObject(""WScript.Shell"")" & vbCrLf
s = s & "Msgbox (""" & test1 & """)" & vbCrLf
s = s & "Msgbox (""" & test2 & """)" & vbCrLf
s = s & "Set oFSO = CreateObject(""Scripting.FileSystemObject"")" & vbCrLf
s = s & "oShell.CurrentDirectory = oFSO.GetParentFolderName(Wscript.ScriptFullName)" & vbCrLf
s = s & "objWorkbook.sheets(""Sheet1"").Range(""" & "A1" & """) = oShell.CurrentDirectory" & vbCrLf
s = s & "Set objWMI = objWorkbook.Application.Run(""Module1.ReturnVBScript"", """" & oShell.CurrentDirectory & """") " & vbCrLf
s = s & "msgbox(""VBScriptMsg - "" & oShell.CurrentDirectory)" & vbCrLf
Debug.Print s
' Write VBScript file to disk
SFilename = ActiveWorkbook.path & "\TestVBScript.vbs"
intFileNum = FreeFile
Open SFilename For Output As intFileNum
Print #intFileNum, s
Close intFileNum
DoEvents
' Run VBScript file
Set wshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set proc = wshShell.exec("cscript " & SFilename & "") ' run VBScript
'could also send some variable
'Set proc = wsh.Exec("cscript VBScript.vbs var1 var2") 'run VBScript passing variables
'Wait for script to end
Do While proc.Status = 0
DoEvents
Loop
MsgBox ("This is in Excel: " & Sheet1.Range("A1"))
MsgBox ("This passed from VBScript: " & path)
'wshShell.Run """" & SFilename & """"
Kill ActiveWorkbook.path & "\TestVBScript.vbs"
End Sub
Public Function ReturnVBScript(strText As String)
path = strText
End Function
This demonstrated several ways that variables can be passed around.
