Subject: [AccessD] VBScript mdb Christmas present from Microsoft

I have been playing around with vbs scripts and WMI. Got this from 
Canada Technet Newsletter Today
Here is an Access 2000 mdb file with 2200 + vbs scripts to do all the 
odd things a lot of people ask for here.
 Watch the OS version for each script, some can be dangerous
as they do things like reimaging disks. Just convert the vbs to vba code.
I have listed below some simple example titles. There are others that 
cover LDAP
Exchange WMI etc. I think this may become a must have for Access 
Programmer Toolboxes.

The Do-It-Yourself Script Center Kit (1.03 MB Self-Extracting
Zip File) <http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=1742701>
Imagine a database containing more than 2,250 scripts, along with sample
scripts (and a few pointers) showing how you can create stand-alone .vbs 
files,
HTML pages, or even your own custom HTML Help file. If you don't like the
categories we used, you can recategorize everything in the database and, in
essence, create a Script Center that works the way you'd like it to. 
Would you
like an HTML Help file that contains only scripts that will work on 
Windows NT
Server 4.0? Well, now you can do that 
<http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=1742702>.

I convert them to VBA fairly straight forward, as everything is late bound
Just convert your dim statements to object etc and response.write to 
debug.print
You can early bind if you can find the library reference.
