Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Remote Desktop

    I have about 15000 computers in our labs (Microsoft), I have them in a browse table.
    I would like the last field to be a button that allows me to click on it and it runs the mstsc /v:{computer name} /console command.

    I have tried it but cannot find the way to do it. Any help please??

    Do what? Create the button or run the command?

      When I click on the button it needs to run the command mstsc /v:{computer} /console.

        Take a look at sys_shell().

        sys_shell("c:\mypath\batch.bat",2) will run the batch batch file, minimized

        sys_shell("c:\windows\system32\command.com mstsc /v:{"+computer+"} /console",2) or similar should work as well.

          Where would I put that code that you mention above, at this point I am trying it with on push.

          In the script genie I have input in the Program name C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe
          In the Command line /v:{"+name+"} /console

          But it does not fill in the name of the computer, it only gives me {}

            Re: Remote Desktop

            In my first post I asked whether you were having trouble with the button or the code for it. You seemed to answer that you needed help with the code.

            Do you have the button? If not, here is a link to a video of how it is done.

              I have the button, but when I click on it the script comes up with the proper box but the name of the computer is not in it.
              So the remote desktop box pops up, but then it asks for the computer name.
              the video does not show me how to start another program. It shows how to make a button, and thank you for that.

                Try changing the command line to

                unquote2("/v:{"+name+"} /console")

                Edit: That doesn't work.

                I think you will have to convert the action script to inline xbasic and edit it to

                sys_shell("C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "+"/v:{"+name+"} /console",1)

                  I really do not know much about programming. When I replace the ommand you tell me to it comes back with the error "Argument is incorrect data type"

                  The data is character.

                    Works fine here.

                    Code:
                    name = "smathews"
                    
                    ? "C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "+"/v:{"+name+"} /console"
                    = "C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe /v:{smathews} /console"
                    
                    
                    
                    
                    sys_shell("C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "+"/v:{"+name+"} /console",1)
                    The last line brings up a dialog (here, anyway) that indicates "Connecting"
                    "Connecting to {smathews}"

                    This fails and I get the message shown in the screenshot. (The button on the form.)

                    Try my attachment.

                        Where browseobjectname is the objectname of the browse on the form.
                        :columnobjectname is the objectname of the column in the browse that holds the computer name.

                        Try the new attachment, "Main" form.

                            OK when I click on teh button, it start to look for {}, and of course it cannot find it, this is the code I have in:
                            sys_shell("C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "+"/v:{"+name+"} /console",1)

                            If you guys could take a look I would appreciate it. When I look at the embeded browse it says
                            Browse: Passdbo_Machines Building Room Rack: Browse of set
