This would also eliminate any confusion arising from leading blank lines. |

| vista x64 ultimare | Re: vb script on vista X64 not working not understanding vb i have to guess which is line 21 - i am assuming blank lines are counted so this would seem to be the error line -or maybe they all are faulty and line 21 is the first faulty line Quote: WshShell.Run "telnet " + ServerName |

Also: - What are you actually trying to do with this script? - To concatenate strings in VB Scripts, use the & symbol, not the + symbol. - To make your script more robust, make it "telnet.exe" instead of just "telnet". - To avoid confusion, change "ServerName" to "ServerIP" throughout the program. - Since I don't have ready access to a 64-bit machine I cannot test your code. It might be safer to invoke the Run method like so: WshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c telnet.exe " + ServerName |

It might be safer to invoke the Run method like so: WshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c telnet.exe " + ServerName its not my script - it is for controlling the software that runs a nas server from windows it works perfectly in 32bit vista - but gives the errow when run on 64 bit vista will try some of your suggestions but it will be no more than trial and error as i have no knowledge of vb |
