    ping workstation kinda works, but not really

    I fear this script will never work. I have a script that pushes a file to a list of workstations. i ping the workstation before i copy in order to keep the script from crashing. however, if the ping time out takes too long or expires in transit, the script locks up. it doesn't crash, it just...

    script takes forever to run

    I GOT IT!!!!!!!!! and of course, it was because i am an idiot. the destination folder was program files. but xcopy needs it to be program_files because its command prompt. i will more than likely feel pretty dumb as soon as the high of success and completion wears off! Thanks to everyone...

    script takes forever to run

    let me correct that. it wouldn't work for the folder the file was in, i just did an xcopy with the file in the root of the fileserver, and it worked! let me try the script w/o mapped drives.

    script takes forever to run

    you mean, just enter the xcopy command by hand into command prompt? it once told me unc was not supported, but now it tells me file not found for the file i using. but i double checked, and the file is there, so i am guessing that it goes back to unc not being supported.

    command prompt closes too fast

    sorry, i added the slash just to check to see if i needed it. originally i did not have it. i was just trying little things to see if it would work. according to the few books i have, it looks like my code is right (without the slash), but i can't figure out why it won't work.

    script takes forever to run

    The sourcedir is in a shared folder. It is available for all on the network. It shows up with the code you gave me (thanks btw - i can definately use that code somewhere else also). Even though i am not using those drive letters, might i have to remove all of my other mapped drives first? (i...

    command prompt closes too fast

    i just gives me "device unavailable" when i do a getdrive on the mapped drive. no other error message. Here is my code(written with the help of numerous people, including markdmac and tsuji, as well as you, phv: On Error Resume Next Wscript.Echo "Beginning Script " ' define ADSI status...

    command prompt closes too fast

    i actually discovered my problem. my draves are not mapping correctly. WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Q:", sourceDir,True i have tried putting "True" in quotes, i've added the admin password and username, and i even tried getting rid of the string variable and writing explicitly the drive that i...

    japplet issue with jpanels - newbie

    i thought about using a tabbed pane (i learned on 1.2 so i don't know a whole lot about it). I just thought it'd look better the way i have it (of course without the buttons, it might be less code). Do you think that is my only option?

    script takes forever to run

    as an admin i should have write, but you think that maybe it? or the mapped drives? the command prompt doesn't stay open long enough for me to see if there is an error.

    japplet issue with jpanels - newbie

    Please forgive me as i am really really new to this. I created a Japplet, and my init wokrs fine, sets my jpanels into the right places in my container, etc. However, I have a button on the bottom that when the user presses it, i want to change a jpanel on in my applet. basically i am using...

    command prompt closes too fast

    i'm sorry Tom, i don't really know how to do that. do you mean in the command prompt where i run the script(vbs)? or do you mean as far as the line of code where i execute the command prompt. Here is the line of code i am using btw, this might help: Call WSHShell.Run("cmd.exe /C xcopy Q:\"...

    command prompt closes too fast

    it seems like none of the switches work. i am using an xcopy and the entire code doesn't seem to actually copy. so i need to see the output to see what the problem is.
