Updating a Date Time Field

DJandLO — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:27:10 +0000

I need to update the Confirmation Date Time field to NULL for a specific meeting but am unsure how to insert it. The script below works for an individual but if they have more than 1 confirmation date it clears then all.

Meet_Master.MEETING is where the meeting code AM2011 is.

UPDATE

ORDERS SET CONFIRMATION_DATE_TIME = NULL WHERE ORDERS.ST_ID = ’236477′

Thanks!

I’m trying to update a DATE_TIME field to a NULL value. When I run the script below I get an error. Any ideas on what I’m missing?

UPDATE Orders SET CONFIRMATION_DATE_TIME = ‘ ‘ WHERE ST_ID = 102690

ERROR: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting the varchar value ‘Ê’ to a column of data type int.

Thanks!

Install fonts in windows 7 using vbs

swinehart6803 — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 15:31:32 +0000

I have clients that are going to place their fonts, usually downloaded ones into a folder. I need a script to assist me in this.
Since I dont know what the fonts are called, I can’t use this one as stated, since I don’t know the .ParseName values.

How do I write this so it will go through the folder in question and parse out the names and run the “Install” process for these fonts?

This would run at startup on the end users manchines

Set objShell = CreateObject(“Shell.Application”)
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(“\\serverfonts”)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Parsename(“fontname.ttf”)
objFolderItem.InvokeVerb(“Install”)
