Quotescript adjustment

[wedeje]

Hey JosefZ,

Thanks again for making this scipt, it will certainly be useful in the future.

I have another slight problem and that is that I want the AEX.vbs script to be executed at 9:00 all workdays via the taskplanner. I tried several settings but come not any further, what is the wright parameter setting.

Thanks in advance , Wim

Hi Wim,
I do not know which is your trouble with the task scheduler. However, I can hint you what to run.
If the full path to your script is e.g.

D:\VBSs\WinGuides\IEX_NL\aex-nl.vbs

then program/script to run should be something like (pay heed to full path to the windows script host program):

C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe D:\VBSs\WinGuides\IEX_NL\aex-nl.vbs

or

C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe D:\VBSs\WinGuides\IEX_NL\aex-nl.vbs

rather than bare

D:\VBSs\WinGuides\IEX_NL\aex-nl.vbs

Moreover, if you want your task to run even if no user is logged in, you should enter a user name and password...
H.T.H.

Hi JosefZ,

Taskplanner doesn't work anymore on my computer for any program. After my crash one month ago XP doesn't work as before in its totallity after I used my recovery CD from the manufacturer. I get an errormessage stating that taskplanner is unable to execute the commands. So I thought of another way to start my VBScript.

If we can make a batchfile, that starts running after Windows startup, which makes the VBScript running at 9:00 u. and then closses itself. Do you know what I mean and can you fix that for me?

I hope so, thanks again, Wim

Make a one-line batchfile like this (cf. my post 11-09-2010 09:10 AM):

C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe D:\VBSs\WinGuides\IEX_NL\aex-nl.vbs

and and let it run after Windows startup (or at user logon, rather).
Remember:

1. The script is written to start grabbing values from the web no sooner than a relevant data put in an appearance there, regardless it arrives at 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, ...

2. The script ends off grabbing values from the web as soon as a relevant data stop appearing, and quits with user logoff (or 19:00 at latest, whatever comes heretofore).
