Try:- Dim objShell Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( “WScript.Shell” ) objShell.Run(“””c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”””) Set objShell = Nothing Note the extra “”s in the string. Since the path to the exe contains spaces it needs to be contained with in quotes. (In this case simply using “firefox.exe” would work). Also bear in mind that many programs exist … Read more
From your code, it looks like provider is a variant or some other variable, and not an object. Is Nothing is for objects only, yet later you say it’s a value that should either be NULL or NOT NULL, which would be handled by IsNull. Try using: If Not IsNull(provider) Then url = url & … Read more
A callable piece of code (routine) can be a Sub (called for a side effect/what it does) or a Function (called for its return value) or a mixture of both. As the documentation for MsgBox, Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, and returns a value indicating … Read more
0 = vbGeneralDate – Default.

The Ruby implementation for Dir is in C (the file dir.c, according to this documentation). However, the Python equivalent is implemented in Python. It’s not surprising that Python is less performant than C, but the approach used in Python gives a little more flexibility – for example, you could skip entire subtrees named e.g. ‘.svn’, … Read more
The latter (<>), because the meaning of the former isn’t clear unless you have a perfect understanding of the order of operations as it applies to the Not and = operators: a subtlety which is easy to miss.

Function CreateGUID Dim TypeLib Set TypeLib = CreateObject(“Scriptlet.TypeLib”) CreateGUID = Mid(TypeLib.Guid, 2, 36) End Function This function will return a plain GUID, e.g., 47BC69BD-06A5-4617-B730-B644DBCD40A9. If you want a GUID in a registry format, e.g., {47BC69BD-06A5-4617-B730-B644DBCD40A9}, change the function’s last line to CreateGUID = Left(TypeLib.Guid, 38)
The function you need is CInt. ie CInt(PrinterLabel) See Type Conversion Functions (Visual Basic) on MSDN Edit: Be aware that CInt and its relatives behave differently in VB.net and VBScript. For example, in VB.net, CInt casts to a 32-bit integer, but in VBScript, CInt casts to a 16-bit integer. Be on the lookout for potential … Read more
