I am (and I assume some of us) are pretty good with KIX language, but have a VAST ignorance of VB and COM stuff.

I found the COM word/printing script posed in the basic group to have lots of potential, but I would have no idea as to how to begin to make one from scratch if someone hadn't already done it...

i made it from the scratch just let the vb editor office has intrinsic do the work for me ...

[but, you're right ... We NEED A Games Forum ]

I wouldn't mind if this board was able to support VBS, WMI, WSH, JS with as much participation as it gets with KiXtart.

I have not found any other board around so far with this kind of response for other languages.

Thanks again

Yeah, maybe some kind of a "Fringe" forum that can encompass COM, WMI, ADSI, WSH, etc. Just so long as it still involves KiX. OH, OH, OH, and games too!

Work on the "Fringe" concept... somthing so far "out there" that it challenges the forum rules...

We'd need a moderator... Who's our most dedicated "automation" guy? Shawn, Bryce, CJ, Kent, ..., just going down the list of top posters. Anyone want to volunteer?

I think the COM forum idea is a good one.

It's different enough to warrant it's own forum and it's 100% kixtart related so it's got all the justification it needs (imho).

But ... might have to question the timing of it. Do we really see enough COM related questions (today) to warrant a seperate forum ? Having said that, I feel that as Windows 2000 domain slowly (so slowly) gains momentum and as the installed user base of KiXtart 4.0 grows, these types of questions will grow substantially over time.

Plus, a COM forum will help advertise and showcase the fact that KiXtart isn't just for login scripts anymore ... it's just as powerfull and as vital as all those other scripting languages normally associated with Active Directory & WMI and ADO/SQL ... even more so in my opinion ...

[rant off] (was it on?)

What was my point again ? Oh yeah - timing ! What do you guys think about timing ?

What's the ratio of ADSI/COM postings to UDF? I think it's a close match. There's been a lot of good COM stuff put out there and they got buried real quick. I don't think anyone would argue the value of the UDF Library, and having the same for COM would be equally beneficial (IMHO).

I think we're just scratching the surface with this "automation" and having a forum that showcases it will help, particularly in cases where WSH is proposed to replace KiX. We've got to show them that we can do better.

So Shawn, are you volunteering to moderate, and what do you think of the "fringe" concept? With fringe, we could include Popovk's request for a third party utility.
New forum for external utilities ?

OH, and J's GAMES too!

Bryce

A Games Forum !! COOOOOOL

Seriously ... it was coding Games that gave me real insight into Kix !

Now I have 2 KiX boards to check

I don't think www.kixscripts.org should be the second kix board, but just an add-on to this great board!

As you can see, the first two links go directly to this board, we've only created the Games forum & COM forum.

Besides, as bryce said:
