The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method

Asked by chayahd99 in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: error, 438, support, object, property

I wrote a VB application that runs fine on one server. When I transfered it to another server I keep on getting the error: run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method

The error is regarding the line: wshShell.CurrentDirectory = "T:\cs.biu.ac.il\scripts"

Please see the code below and tell me what you think:

Public Sub FindUser(ID As String)
    Dim wshShell
    Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

    'map network drive
    Dim Connect
    Set Connect = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    Connect.MapNetworkDrive "T:", "\\star\SYSVOL"
    wshShell.CurrentDirectory = "T:\cs.biu.ac.il\scripts"
   
    'create random file name
    Dim fName As String
    Dim objFSO1
   
    Set objFSO1 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    fName = CreateRandomFileName()
    Do While objFSO1.FileExists(fName)
        fName = CreateRandomFileName()
    Loop
       
    'execute search
    Dim myCommand As String
    phoneNo = ID
    myCommand = "cscript search.vbs LDAP://DC=ch,DC=cs,DC=biu,DC=ac,DC=il /C:telephoneNumber=" & phoneNo & " /S:subtree"
    'wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /C " & myCommand & " > temp.txt"
    wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /C " & myCommand & " > " & fName
   
    'delete drive mapping
    wshShell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\"
    MsgBox "stam - doesn't create file without this printing - ask pinchas"
    Connect.RemoveNetworkDrive "T:"
   
    'parsing output file
    wshShell.CurrentDirectory = "\\star\SYSVOL\cs.biu.ac.il\scripts"
    Dim objFSO, objTextFile
    Dim strLinetoParse, begining, arrToken, num, strDN As String
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(fName, 1)
   
    Do While objTextFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
        strLinetoParse = objTextFile.ReadLine
        begining = Mid(strLinetoParse, 1, 7)
        'catches only first instance. If all instances are required remove exit do
        If begining = "ADsPath" Then
            arrToken = Split(strLinetoParse, " ")
            num = arrToken(1)
            strDN = arrToken(3)
            'MsgBox strDN
            Exit Do
        End If
    Loop
   
    'MsgBox "Number of results is: " & num
    objTextFile.Close
    objFSO.DeleteFile (fName)
    Set wshShell = Nothing
    Set Connect = Nothing
    path = strDN
End Sub

Thanks.
