Some Notes on the Machines

Run it like this, from CMD:

"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass script.ps1

There is a way:

If all of your settings are correct but you still get the popup saying that macros are disabled, your OTM file — the VBA project file — is corrupt. In the case of Outlook:

1. Export your modules to .BAS files
2. Exit Outlook
3. Go here in Explorer:
   C:\Users\[user]AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
4. Delete the OTM file
5. Restart Outlook
6. Import your exported .BAS files into the new VBA project which it created for you.

Seems like certain VBScript references are being ripped off of the Web; thus it was great to see this:

Two very interesting and related developments:

It’s not very much documented, but if you have a lot of WordPerfect files, try renaming their extensions to .DOC. Word will load them, unless they are very old files from WordPerfect for DOS.

If you have a huge tree of WPD files, use a batch file like this:

For /R "X:\TOP_OF_TREE" %%G in (.) Do (
 Pushd %%G
 Echo now in %%G
 ren *.wpd *.doc
 Popd )
Echo "Done!"

Try this:

Try this:

Dim objNetwork
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

Dim objWinntComp
Set objWinntComp = GetObject("WinNT://" & objNetwork.UserDomain & "/" & objNetwork.ComputerName & ",computer")
MsgBox "WinNT://" & objNetwork.UserDomain & "/" & objNetwork.ComputerName & ",computer"

Dim strGroupToCheck
strGroupToCheck = "GROUP_TO_DETECT"

If IsMemberOfGroup(objNetwork.UserDomain, objWinntComp, strGroupToCheck) = True Then
      MsgBox "You are a member of " & strGroupToCheck
ElseIf IsMemberOfGroup(objNetwork.UserDomain, objWinntComp, strGroupToCheck) = False Then
      MsgBox "You are NOT a member of " & strGroupToCheck
      WScript.Quit
ElseIf IsMemberOfGroup(objNetwork.UserDomain, objWinntComp, strGroupToCheck) = "Error" Then
      MsgBox "There was no group found called " & strGroupToCheck
      WScript.Quit
End If      

Function IsMemberOfGroup(strUserDomain, objComp, strGroup) 'the user is a member of a specified group
      IsMemberOfGroup = False
      Dim objGroup
      On Error Resume Next
      Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strUserDomain & "/" & strGroup & ",group")
      If Err.Number Then
            IsMemberOfGroup = "Error"
      Else
            IsMemberOfGroup = objGroup.IsMember(objComp.ADsPath & "$")
      End If
End Function

Try this:

@echo off
for /D %%Q in (C:\*) do echo Directory:  %%Q
for %%Q in (C:\*) do echo File:  %%Q

The above is a solid batch file — if you use the logic in the command shell, use single percents, not doubles!

The below is revised from here. It works well, as long as a reference to the Microsoft Office [currentversion] Type Library is created. This is confirmed to work well in Access 2010.

Public Function ChooseFile() As String

    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) 
        .AllowMultiSelect = False 'Select only one file
        .Title = "Choose file" 'Set dialog title
        .ButtonName = "Choose" 'Set the button caption
        '.Filters.Clear 'Make sure the filter list is clear
        'Add 2 filters
            '.Filters.Add "JPEGs", "*.jpg"
            '.Filters.Add "Bitmaps", "*.bmp"
            '.FilterIndex = 2 ' Set the filter index to 2
            '.Filters.Add "All", "*.*"

        'Set initial path
        .InitialFileName = "" 

        'Optionally show files as thumbnails
        '.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewThumbnail
        .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList

        'Show the dialog and test the return
        If .Show = 0 Then
            'didn't pick a file - exit sub
            ChooseFile = ""
            Exit Function
        End If

        'Should be only one file name - grab it
        ChooseFile = Trim(.SelectedItems(1))  

        'On Error Resume Next 'Set error trap

    End With

End Function
