Here is actually what i am trying to do. https://www.wincustomize.com/download.aspx?skinid=4199&libid=3 Only since I can't seem to set the hotspots or hidden object controllers on the left page i have been forced to make something like this an autorun, then replace the four or five links on the left page with "click this book to continue" then replace the animated shortcut with a "menu.exe" which is basically a front end jpg with an edge map and the links on the new jpg menu. I

Basically I am trying to set up my "shortcut" object to point to the d: drive or g:drive or whatever the cd rom drive is so it can find the menu.exe program. basically the autorun is a shortcut with a little splash screen type book opening and closing then when the user clicks it, it should run "menu.exe" the main thing i am trying in the location dialog box is " \menu.exe" where menu.exe is in the same root folder as the autorun.exe burned on the same disk. It seems like it should be a common t

Can anyone help me with a relative path from a shortcut object I will be burning on a cd menu to start another program ? I'm trying along the lines of : /menu.exe Ideally my autorun would give the user the chance to exit or continue and the continue button to load the menu prg. comes back with "cannot find 'blah,blah/menu.exe' blah,blah = the million things i've tried %dir% etc. Thanks mitafax

I did get a heck of a good hit on this script. Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & "[path to spreadsheet file]" & _ "Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=1""" Set rst =

I did check on dogpile and a few others with "vb+script+excel+cell" in the search engine and got some like that. I actually had trouble with even the diff between a " ' " and a "rem" (to show as a remark. which shows how bad off I am learning this script stuff but looking at the one you link looks not to be too long. I'll letcha know Thanks again !

Is there a way to script an object that will read say cells a1-a3 in an excel .xls and have them written in plain text on the desk top without actually opening excel ? I'm looking for a way to create 26 objects one for a-z and line them up along a vert bar so i can quickly look up a contact name and phone number for all contacts with the last name "A something" then a second for "B something" without opening the Alist.xls or Blist.xls (i.e. 26 diff spreadsheets) I'm pretty d

oops. I'm using desktop x builder 3.o and the fading drive meter (not sure who wrote the script but it rocks !) anyhow I'm just wondering if this is a static thing that desktop is reading either from xp or from the drive at the last time of access a certain amount was avail last time the drive was used or if this is a realtime dynamic thing where since it displays lets say the amount of space left on the c: drive every 15 sec. it is sending some kind of request to the

Uh, How does the prog check space dynamically/realtime ? Is it keeping my drive spinning while my 'puter is on at nite, if i leave a drive spc indicator or whatever on my desktop ? I guess I'm too retentive about my drive being over used. thanks for you help. I have to go wash my hands for the 28th time today.
