Thanks, guys. "Truth will sooner come out from error than from confusion." Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

I want to display multiple lines of text in a dialog but VBS doesn't acknowledge CR and LF. Is there another way to achieve this? "Truth will sooner come out from error than from confusion." Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

Thanks strongm - Different call from Sub! "Truth will sooner come out from error than from confusion." Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

I am trying to establish whether or not a call to a function is replaced by the value it generates. I have this code Function readInput(CellIndex) ' debug WScript.Echo "In readInput" readInput = InputBox("Enter Coefficient " & CellIndex, vbOKOnly+vbQuestion, "Coefficient Entry") ' debug...

For the record: [flip] I now have a system which is running VBScript. [flip] What did it for me? 1. From command line (run as administrator) "regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll" 2. Locate "%windir%\inf\wsh.inf (on Windows 7 this equates to C:\Windows\inf\wsh.inf") --> right...

I have tried the double-click way and also by running in the IDE (PrimalScript 2015). No luck! FTR: These are the extra software options I get to open the file If I run 'assoc' on a command line as administrator I get the line ".vbs=VBSFile". "Truth will sooner come out from error than...

I have just installed PrimalScript 2015 and written this very complex script file: '============================== Option Explicit On Error Resume Next Dim My_Message My_Message = "Hello World" MsgBox My_Message '============================== When I try to run this I get: Microsoft (R)...

Some form of order has appeared out of the chaos! [laughtears] I had checked the boot order, but to be certain I shoved all the USB (including the External HDD) options to the end of the queue. This BIOS does not seem to have a means to disable those options. By a process of attrition it...

I had tried the individual RAM sticks trick without any change. The Cruzer is one of my Thumb drives. I disconnected the WiFi (Huawei) and the External HDD (GoFlex). Perfect boot. Reconnected the WiFi - perfect boot. Reconnected External HDD - no-boot loop! Disconnected External HDD and...

rclarke250 This cycle displays on screen during the loop after a single short beep - followed by back to black screen. I put the machine to sleep last night instead of powering down. It is working normally since I woke it up. I'm getting too scared to power it down because I'll wear out...

Cable re-seating didn't make any difference. I cannot access BIOS while in loop, must RAM Snap then call for BIOS. I don't really know what I am looking at when the BIOS thing is up but it does not tell me anything is wrong and I cannot see anything out of place. I have removed each of the two...

My machine is Intel QuadCore i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 16 GB RAM, MS Windows 7 Home Premium v. 6.1 64-bit SP1. It has a SAMSUNG U28D590D VDU driven by an NVIDIA QUADRO K620 Video Card and RealTek High Definition Audio on Motherboard MSI B75MA-P45 Since I moved house a week ago I have had trouble...

Thanks Paul, but I already had that beastie. I unlocked and relocked at the last install of SWX, but it hasn't solved my problem. I guess there is no update for the update so it doesn't cause any conflicts. No?[bowleft] "Truth will sooner come out from error than from confusion." Francis...

I am having trouble running SolidWorks 2014 SP2 and a diagnostic points me at MS Update KB 3072630. What does this thing do, should I uninstall it, and if so, how do I do that? My machine is Intel QuadCore i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 16 GB RAM, MS Windows 7 Home Premium v. 6.1 64-bit SP1. It has a...

Thanks goombawaho Regarding Firefox and Chrome, I stick with IE11 from preference, although I virtually have to use Firefox at the community college. It seems that IT Personnel all over have a bias against MS (not just IT Personnel [cyclops]) and the website code they produce ignores standards...
