OLE error code 0x800401ea: Moniker cannot open file

[tamayok]

Hello to all,

The following line results in "OLE error code 0x800401ea: Moniker cannot open file".

loUser = GetObject([WinNT://]+STRTRAN(SYS(0)," # ","/"))

The error only occurs in select workstations; works perfectly well in most.

About the environment:
VFP 9 application running under Windows XP Prof. SP2

Is this call for a GetObject() restricted to a specific type of users (power-users, administrators...)?

Do I need to register a component?

Thanks!

Try installing Windows scripting on the stations to see if it makes a difference.

Although I must admit that your code looks a little strange, it seems to be a mix between Windows scripting and VFP. Are sure about your syntax?

Kenneth,

I just tried to run your code, and got the same error.

I must admit I am puzzled about what the code is trying to achieve. You seem to be doing a GetObject() based on the machine name concatanated with the user name. Out of curiosity, can you explain what that does?

Mike

mgagnon,

I use Windows Scripting in other parts of the appl and it works on those workstations so I assume that element is not the issue.

MikeLewis,

I use that code to subsequently re-authenticate the Windows/Net user/password combination...

I guess it's good that your environment triggers the same error... I not not able to replicate the error elsewhere, therefore, find it difficult to solve it.

The object will only work on Windows NT or XP.

I must admit your code runs fine on my machine (win xp,VFP9.0), I just never use the [WinNT://] part. By your result I can only guess that it is platform related and not VFP related. There must be other ADSI code that would work for other OS.
