Use $drive: $share /user:$StringUsername /password:$StringPassword

There is definantly something wrong with this line. What is the proper syntax for this line with novarsinstrings on?
....


The line above is the proper format with no vars in strings on and off. There are no vars inside strings in that line. The variable can hold a string but the variables should not placed in between quotes for best practice kix scripting. One could argue about the : behind and after the variables though.

also what is the difference between $=novars in strings or $variable name=no vars in strings?


There is no difference other the length of the variable taking the return value of Setoption("NorVarsInStrings", "on or off"). $ is a valid name for a variable in kix. Maybe not the best choice but still valid.

 Code:
Use $drive: $share /user:$StringUsername /password:$StringPassword

My first concern is that Kix is seeing "$Drive:" and not "$Drive" + ":"

Not sure what you mean in your second Q - SetOption('NoVarsInStrings', 'On') is the only valid syntax, and basically is an interpreter directive that changes how Kix handles the presence of "$" between single or double quotes. With it "on", the "$" is an ordinary character, with it "off" (the default), Kix treats the "$" as the special character that identifies a variable name. The var name is terminated by whitespace and select special characters. I don't recall if ":" is one of those special terminators.

Up to my eyeballs at the moment - maybe someone else can suggest changes for the USE statement to get you going..

Final comment, This is where everything gets frustrating
....
This works,and there is no real difference between this, or how its executed from the login script. It collects the user/pass and maps the drive...so why does this work with one of the drives through login script, but not both, when this works with both.


How about reworking the CmdUserLogin_Click function to this? Does this give you better results? Also using drive B might be tricky. Drive A and B could be used for diskette drives. I would never use any drive letter below D for a drive mapping.

 Code:
Function CmdUserLogin_Click()

	If $TextBoxUsername.Text = ""
		$= $Form.MsgBox("You must specify a username before clicking LOGIN.", "Invalid Username")
		$TextBoxUsername.Text = $StringUsername
		Exit Sub
	Else
		$StringUsername = $TextBoxUsername.Text
	EndIf

	If $TextBoxPassword.Text = ""
		$= $Form.MsgBox("You must specify a password before clicking LOGIN.", "Invalid Password")
		$TextBoxPassword.Text = $StringPassword
		Exit Sub
	Else
		$StringPassword = $TextBoxPassword.Text
	EndIf


	$Form.Hide

	$drive="B:"
	$server="\\Qs1045n5m\"
	$share="Benefits"

	$share = $server + $share

	;? "variables are" $share $Stringusername $Stringpassword

	? "mapping " + $drive + " to " + $share
	Use $drive /Delete
	Use $drive + " " $share + " /user:" + $StringUsername + " /Password:" + $StringPassword
EndFunction

Mart:

I probably would not do that on a workstation, but I know that our servers do not have any floppy drives, and map to A/B all of the time. You're right - if you do it, you should do it with care.

Going back a few posts...
 Code:
$Drive = 'd'
'Drive is ' $Drive: ?

... displays "Drive is"
This confirms that "$Drive:" and "$Drive" are two different variables. You'll need to specify it as $Drive + ':'.

This just gets more interesting as we go along it seems. I didnt even think of the possibility of $drive: becoming a variable, but having difficulties with that made me change my ini file to be B:, F:, etc. Til tomorrow guys!

I didn't like the idea of using A-H as drive letters for the record, B is the only one in this range I do utilize.

Function CmdUserLogin_Click()

Thats going to be a no go, as i need to pass in those variables, but i think i figured it out, I need to beable to nest functions in this, thats why its breaking. Im trying to call a function from a function, that needs to be inside the original function.

How does one nest a function in kixtart? Or, what are the alternatives.

Nesting??

Functions stand alone, and can be called from any code module or function. EG:
 Code:
Function F1($stuff)

 $Stuff = $Stuff + 'MoreStuff' ; change stuff
 $Stuff = F2($Stuff)           ; modify stuf some more, via F2()

 $F1 = $Stuff
 Exit 0
EndFunction

Function F2($MyStuff)

  If InStr($MyStuff, 'specialstuff')
    ; do special things to $MyStuff..
  Else
   ' do normal things to $MyStuff
  EndIf

  $F2 = $MyStuff
  Exit 0
EndFunction

Thus - the function declarations are independent, but F1() can call F2(). Heck, F1() can even call F1(), known as Recursion, or Recursive Calling. The DirList UDF is an excellent example of recursive calling that comes to mind.

Thanks for all the info on this, it didnt resolve the issues but did force me to some better standards. That said, I am abandoning this fixforms test, but still need a graphical way to prompt the user for user/pass. People ignore the cmd prompt all day and just let it sit there when it asks them for it.

One last small question.
Do you run the logon script synchronized? If nor then the users should not be able to go to work before they do something with the command window because windows does not continue to startup before the scripts are done. Forcing users to enter a username and pw in the command window.

True
Or look for it in the registry under the key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders"
See FAQ: Locations of Desktop, Start Menu, etc.

HKLM or HKCU?

I think Les means to say that one should never hardcode the username (eg. jsmith) but use the @userid macro so if a users gets renamed stuff will still work. This way it will work for all users it applies so you don’t have to create separate scripts or lines for each user.
