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!

strComputer and CDO/HTML

Asked by Simon336697 in Visual Basic Programming, VB Script

Tags: from, win32_process

Hi guys hope you can help!!

Okay, I have the following code that is just about 100% working, but Id like you nice people to examine it (see if there is anything that really isnt being done as per standard good programming practice etc).

What it does is the following:

Queries the local machine Win32_Process, returns results, pumps the results into a variable within an email message.

So the output is something like the following:
===================================================== Email Message
List of Running Processes On System:  DELL101

                              Name               ProcessID
                              System Idle      Process 0
                               System              4
                              etc etc

The problem Im having is the following:

The only way I can the computer name to appear is if I hard code the computer name into my script.
I want to use strComputer = "." but this just returns a dot, not the computer name. So Im not sure where to place it in my script so I dont have to hard code the name.

'==========================================TITLE OF EMBEDDED HTML (code snippet)

strComputer = "DELL101"
strHTML = strHTML & "<HTML>"

Guys can someone advise me on where Im going wrong in my code so that I dont have to hard code the computer name?
Thanks for any help

================================================ HERE IS MY CODE:

Dim iMsg
Dim iConf
Dim Flds
Dim strHTML
Dim strComputer
Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2
Const cdoBasic = 1 'basic (clear-text) authentication
set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields

With Flds
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtpServer"
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = cdoBasic
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "emailaddress"
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = False
    .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
