Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	AzzerShaw, You ask Software and ODBC.. What are you needing, specifically? There should be a couple of script for ODBC Connections and there is one for the Helpdesk that captures software installed.

AzzerShaw AzzerShaw Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2003-02-20 Posts: 510 Loc: Cheltenham, England	Basically I've just been handed this dodgy task to look at all software (various types) and the odbc connections of the Pc's in one of our departments. If I cant come up with a script, it looks like i will be doing this manually on 100 pcs Which I'd rather not !! There could be some applications which dont have Odbc connections and are stand alone but I need these also..... _________________________ If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit.

AzzerShaw AzzerShaw Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2003-02-20 Posts: 510 Loc: Cheltenham, England	Hi - I've looked at the two links but am getting confused !! The one link says about creating an odbc connection, not getting information about it ? The help desk guide kix, only seems to find programs that are listed within the script, and there are all kinds of diffrent Programs. What i would ideally need would be it to pull off the applications that appear in the add/remove programs ? I know this is a longshot but im just thinking of my tired feet _________________________ If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it. - W.C Fields

Jose Jose Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-04 Posts: 693 Loc: Buenos Aires - Argentina	AzzerShaw: There is no single way to make an inventory of stuff, speccially when the data is so crossed over. Paste this address http://www.geocities.com/jose_manuelvigil/Kix/Software.zip in your browser you can download a sample I have made to pick up different information installed. What I tried to accomplish here is to join diferents arrays from different functions (not build by me...NTDOC´s and others work) that would make a big array, then load it to a relational database with two tables, the one that has all the soft and the one that has the relation computer-soft. Like this: GetUninstallInfo() + OfficeVersions() + IEVer() + Oracle() = BigArray You could do the same but instead of Oracle() FE u can build an ODBC() function and treat the results as a software that would have its own id in the table. The sample works if u have ADODB installed, look at the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ADODB.Command if not MDAC will install. You will also need Kixforms.dll to make the form work. Maybe is a little messy like my hair or look written by spanish Tarzan but can give u a different view where u could go. {edit} If u have problems with the connection string, change it localy. [ 15.
