Hello digiman1134,

>I am using a open (mid(confunction, 1, 180)) function could sombeody please tell me why it isn't popping up the window and paramaters I am naming in the confunction function it opens a new window, but not the one I am requesting

What do you mean confunction??? What is it? Also, what is the host? (IE or wsh).

confunction is the variable I name in the script, it is passing along a URL, that is very long, and VBScript has trouble processing, I am using IE

digiman1134,

Vbscript engine can take _very_ long string without a problem per se. What is the open line you're using?

well, the variable that I have declared has 173 characters, but it also has three sets of quotation marks inside of it (") so if I put it right into the window.open function, it edits out what is in those quotations, and I really need those because they plug in values from a form I have on the web page that I need to pass along

digiman1134,

In that case, pass this the the url argument?
[tt]
escape(mid(confunction, 1, 180))
[/tt]

Further note:

Or possibly at the 1st argument of .open:
[tt]
<%=server.urlencode(mid(confunction, 1, 180))%>
[/tt]
if it is a server-side variable. Can't be 100% certain without firm idea of the environment.

well, I fixed that problem, but now I have another, the variables I am trying to pass along to the URL aren't working, any ideas, here is the complete script I'm using

<html>

<head>
<title>Batter Usage Totals JScript</title>



<script type="text/vbscript">
// Declare Global Variables
Dim StartReportDate
Dim EndReportDate
Dim ConStartDate
Dim ConEndDate
Dim Confunction
ConFunction = " Usage Report.rpt?init=actx&user0=****&password0=****&prompt0=Date(ConStartDate)&prompt1=Date(ConEndDate)"
StartDate = Calendar1
EndDate = Calendar2
ConStartDate = Startdate
ConEndDate = EndDate
Function GetReportButton_onclick()
open confunction



End Function
</script>
</head>

digiman1134,

What is the original problem? I don't see the continuity. (I haven't look hard for long script-without a motivation.)

thank you, but I think i've figured it out, I just needed to move my function out of the head and into the body at the end, and then use Calendar.day, calendar.month, and claendar.year as the values
