No. VBScript, thankfully, has no facility to call the Win32 API directly. You'll have to write a COM wrapper around the functions you want to use, using either VB.NET or VB6, or whatever else you want, exposing methods and properties to manipulate the data you want. You can then instantiate that class using CreateObject in VBScript.

I don't agree. A COM wrapper to Win32 could be handy to have some fun scripting.

I never asked you to build up such a wrapper...

BTW, Could you, please, build it for us?

ADO And ODBC Connection Choice

You do a query on the database and set the datasource of the grid to be the data. If you try google, there are tons of tutorials that will go over it better than I can in a forum post.

Then you need to normalise the data into two columns.

I'm not sure if you should maintain or rewrite the application (although with no documentation it might be tricky to maintain) but I do have a link to a list of ways to connect to various types of databases.

Re: dynamic size in array?

select secondValue from myTable where firstValue=value ?

dynamic size in array?

Hello. I need your advise about how to solve that. I have a network application that uses a socket to receive some messages. The problem is that the message size isn't always the same. The two first digits indicates the size.

My initial idea is reading these two digits and create an array with the rigth size. Is that possible or is a better idea to solve that?

Regards,

Diego F.

Use a list, or other dynamic array class.

You can tell the control to not spawn children, not sure if this makes the link work in your current browser.

Thanks for rewording the question. Let me restate the answer. You can set the browser control to not allow popup windows of any kind, but I am not sure if it will navigate inside the main window, or just ignore them.
