OK, so can I do this with XL format (without excel installed)?

If not, what CAN I update via automation? Do I need to set up a database? If so, what's the easiest to setup, update, save, and delete via MS automation?

Finally through that, and find out at the end it can't actually do what I need at all. Is there any known method at all that allows updates to existing csv fields? If not, should I be going to XL? I've been through every post I can find, some many times, tried several methods, and I'm still not seei...

EDIT: After a full day working through this issue, I see that writing to a specific field in a .csv is much more difficult than anticipated. I tried just about every method mentioned online including a couple using other tools. As far as MS, WriteLn may work for writing new data under certain circum...

Working flawlessly, thx.

I apparently underestimated some of the built in string functions when I looked at them. Reading back through each.

EDIT: Just realized that there was a RP_Wait=1 line in an included header. Not exactly sure what was keeping this particular .bat file from completing (maybe it stays open while app it launched remains open?) I see now, though, that resetting to RP_Wait to 0 before the particular line, then back, an...

That worked. Thx. Halfway there. I returns a bunch of stuff, then at the end: Profile created successfully. Profile id is 40e7de3e-4d8d-44e6-97dd-b287a95d8784. The period at the end is not part of the profile id. I've run a couple. Not entirely sure yet if they always have the same number of charact...

I'm trying to move past GUI commands wherever possible, so diving into using MS for CLI, accessing API's, etc. Launching a profile from Multiloginapp using a bat file command: Run>multiloginapp-cli.bat -create-profile -name "profile name" -browser-type chrome This works to create a profile. So far, ...

Thx for the feedback. Just wanted to report back that I tried just about every option I could find (8 or 9, I think), and found OpenOffice calc to be by far the most useful in terms of customization for any particular purpose. Just in case anyone else is looking for similar solution. None of them di...

Trying to copy to other machines was proving problematic due to TS forcing username read as computername/username. Since computername is different every time, it was causing issues. Since it's doing it for me without apparent ability to override manually or easy way to add wildcard. It was taking to...

VNC proving very buggy, so DAYS of RDP testing later: Hundreds if not thousands of permutations on the technique of keeping a second (dummy to localhost) connection active have failed. Lockout still occurs. Only 2 references I could find anywhere to anyone working this out, and they're both vague on...

Thx. I'll test this when I get a chance. That's not exactly what I meant, though. When I said "Your end of things" I was referring to the specifics of which session the script is running in vs sessions for the remote, the dummy RDP, etc. It appears to me that the dev in the link has provided a fix f...

Assuming that's true, that creates a conflict for starting the script in autologin session, then connecting to view? So script would be running in wrong session? I do know this: I've put an exe in the startup folder, then used autologin and told it to restart. After waiting and then reconnecting via...

Tried again today doing this both with RDP signoff procedure or with VNC, an having issues with both. I may just be having a dyslexic moment, but... Not quite claear if autologon by itself fixes the problem since it does create logged in user (and therefore UI?) without RDP connection. Or is it that...

I've had a family member in the hospital for the past week, so unable to use the workstation, but lots of time to read up, and run a few small scale tests. Yes, looks like the RDP hack does allow persistent UI, bu the limitations of my RDP client end up causing problems (sessions often terminate wit...

oops. dbl post.
