How to get IP address through VBA in UFT - vba

I am trying to get the Ipaddress through this below code in WIN10
I'm unable to iterate through the For loop as getting the below error.
General run error.
Line (4): "For Each IPConfig In IPConfigSet"
Set IPConfigSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").ExecQuery _
("select IPAddress from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")
For Each IPConfig In IPConfigSet
If Not IsNull(IPConfig.IPAddress) Then
For i = LBound(IPConfig.IPAddress) To UBound(IPConfig.IPAddress)
Debug.Print IPConfig.IPAddress(i)
Next
End If

Telnet (winsock) connection in VBA - class not registered

I have GSM gateway that use telnet for sending/recivieng SMS. I'am making a small app in my ms-access for sending sms notifications for my clients. For that I need winsock connection from my client computer -> gsm gateway. It supposed to be easy :)
I can't establish an object. I'm receiving run-time error -2147221164(80040154) - Class not registered. Error is indicated in "Set winsock = ..." line. I have added reference MS Winsock Control 6.0 (SP6) - MSWINSCK.OCX. I have a feeling this is a problem with reference, but I don't have any idea how to correct it (code below is simplified) :( .
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents Winsock1 As Winsock
Sub Start_Telnet_Session()
Dim Data As String
Dim Winsock1
Set Winsock1 = New MSWinsockLib.Winsock
Winsock1.RemoteHost = "192.168.1.1"
Winsock1.RemotePort = "23"
Winsock1.connect
Do Until Winsock1.State = 7
DoEvents
If Winsock1.State = sckError Then
Exit Sub
End If
Loop
Winsock1.SendData "user" & vbCrLf
Winsock1.SendData "pass" & vbCrLf
Dim I As Integer
I = 5
While TelnetCommands <> ""
Winsock1.SendData "TelnetCommands" & vbCrLf
Winsock1.GetData Data
Data = VBA.Replace(Data, vbLf, "")
Data = VBA.Replace(Data, vbCr, vbNewLine)
MsgBox Data
I = I + 1
Wend
Winsock1.Close
End Sub

manual entry in cmd window works, VBA executing CMD works, but not VBA when I use run (so I can hide the window)

SECOND EDIT/UPDATE: tried the path change recommendations, did not see any changes to the command string, still does not work. I re-wrote the code to use a fixed text file instead of a random temp file so I could monitor the contents of the file during execution. Able to conclusively show it is the
oShellObject.Run sCommandStringToExecute & " > " & sShellRndTmpFile, 0, True
code line that doesn't behave as expected. Still works with the w32tm command line, but not with the ntpq command line. With ntpq command, no changes made to the file, no error flags. I also tried out (again) the exec version of this problem where the window is supposed to flash a bit before it gets hidden programmatically. I get the expected reslut using exactly the same command string, cut and pasted into the other code. So the same command line works with manual entry into CMD, into PowerShell, and in the .exec code version, not the .run code version.
End of second edit. -------------------
EDIT: more debugging... ntpq -p works if I do .exec instead of .run, but then of course can't hid the cmd window. Extra test code at the end.
This Works: If I run these two commands in manually opened cmd window, or PowerShell window, both give the expected results.
w32tm /stripchart /computer:time.nist.gov /dataonly /samples:3 /rdtsc /period:1
ntpq -p
The second, ntpq -p, is bundled with NTP windows software from the home of the Network Time Protocol project that gives similar information to windows' w32tm when NTP is set up to look at the same time service computer as in the w32tm command.
This Doesn't work:
When I try to use these two command string when running CMD functions hidden using the classic "write to file" method shown in SO here and other places, the w32tm version gives the same results as the manual version, but the ntpq version just returns "error".
I read every single one of the recommended links for this question as well as searching OS and Google, and have not found an answer.
I am stuck on next step to troubleshoot the problem...only thing I could think of was to run the commands manually to confirm they work there. I can't imagine it being a administrator privileges issue since I can run them both in CMD line or PowerShell windows opened at normal rights level.
What should I look at next?
Here is the test code.
Option Explicit
Sub TestShellRun()
Dim sCmd As String, sReturnNTP As String
sCmd = "w32tm /stripchart /computer:time.nist.gov /dataonly /samples:3 /rdtsc /period:1 " ' /packetinfo"
sCmd = "%ComSpec% /C %SystemRoot%\system32\" & sCmd
sReturnNTP = fShellRun(sCmd) 'good return value, same as manual cmd line
Debug.Print sReturnNTP
sCmd = "ntpq -p"
sCmd = "%ComSpec% /C %SystemRoot%\system32\" & sCmd
sReturnNTP = fShellRun(sCmd) 'ERROR return value, even though manual cmd line has good values
Debug.Print sReturnNTP
End Sub
Public Function fShellRun(sCommandStringToExecute) As String
' This function will accept a string as a DOS command to execute.
' It will then execute the command in a shell, and capture the output into a file.
' That file is then read in and its contents are returned as the value the function returns.
' "myIP" is a user-selected global variable
Dim oShellObject, oFileSystemObject, sShellRndTmpFile
Dim oShellOutputFileToRead
Dim iErr As Long
Set oShellObject = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set oFileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sShellRndTmpFile = oShellObject.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%") & oFileSystemObject.GetTempName
On Error Resume Next
oShellObject.Run sCommandStringToExecute & " > " & sShellRndTmpFile, 0, True
iErr = Err.Number
On Error GoTo 0
If iErr <> 0 Then
fShellRun = "error"
Exit Function
End If
On Error GoTo err_skip
fShellRun = oFileSystemObject.OpenTextFile(sShellRndTmpFile, 1).ReadAll
oFileSystemObject.DeleteFile sShellRndTmpFile, True
Exit Function
err_skip:
fShellRun = "error"
oFileSystemObject.DeleteFile sShellRndTmpFile, True
End Function
sCommand = "ntpq.exe -p"
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshShellExec = WshShell.Exec(sCommand)
strOutput = WshShellExec.StdOut.ReadAll
Debug.Print strOutput
Your fShellRun function didn't work due to error in temporary file path. Here is fixed version.
Function fShellRun(sCommandStringToExecute) As String
...
'invalid file path without path separator between directory path and filename!
sShellRndTmpFile = oShellObject.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%") & _
oFileSystemObject.GetTempName
'valid path with path separator between directory path and filename
sShellRndTmpFile = oFileSystemObject.BuildPath( _
Environ("temp"), oFileSystemObject.GetTempName)
...
End Function

VBA ServerXMLHTTP code works in Windows 7 but fails in Windows 10

Using VBA in Microsoft Access, I am sending XML to a server to get a response string. It works fine in Windows 7. Recently, some users have upgraded to Windows 10, and this no longers works (all users on Office 16). The specific error is:
-2147012867 - A connection with the server could not be established.
The error occurs on the xsite.send line
Here is the code:
Dim xsite As ServerXMLHTTP60
Set xsite = New ServerXMLHTTP60
On Error Resume Next
xsite.setTimeouts 0, 60000, 30000, 600000
xsite.Open "POST", pServerURL & func, False
aErr = Array(Err.Number, Err.Description)
On Error GoTo 0
If 0 = aErr(0) Then 'No error creating the link
xsite.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
'Set request header with Base64-encoded username/password
xsite.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Basic " & EncodeBase64(UserName & ":" & Password)
On Error Resume Next
xsite.send "xmlData=" & URLEncode(xmldata)
aErr = Array(Err.Number, Err.Description)
On Error GoTo 0
Debug.Print aErr(0)
Debug.Print aErr(1)
End If
Any ideas?
I had a similar problem. Haven't tested your code but it appears similar to mine, it also works in Windows7 but not on Windows10. I found out that it was the Windows10 firewall who blocked it. Yours probably works if you turn off the firewall. I tried different approaches to make an exception to my firewall but never succeded. So the few times I have to run my code I have to shut the firewall down.

Send Unix commands to PuTTY

I have opened and logged into a PuTTY session. Now I am trying to send commands like cd to the same session using below code:
Sub open_putty()
Dim UserName 'assign user name
Dim Passwrd 'assign password
Dim TaskID As Long
UserName = "UNAME"
Passwrd = "PWD"
TaskID = shell("path/putty.exe " & UserName & "#SERVERNAME -pw " & Passwrd, vbMaximizedFocus)
AppActivate TaskID, True
SendKeys "cd somedirectory"
End Sub
First issue I am facing is on AppActivate TaskID, True line. Error message is
Runtime error 5, invalid procedure call, or argument.
I have commented that line and now PuTTY session is opened and able to login, but then unable to send the command using SendKeys.
I have tried to search on this but not getting specific answer, so asking posting it here.

Error 440 in Visual Basic Application

There is an old VB application running at one of my clients.
An exception is throws in this peice of code:
cn=GetIndexDatabaseConnectionString()
sSql="SELECT * FROM Arh_Naroc WHERE StNarocila = '" & isci & "'"
rs=CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Call rs.Open(sSql,cn)
The exception happens in rs.Open() function. "Error number 440 occured."
This are SBL scripts for KOFAX engine and it's many years old.
The whole SW was transferred from old XP computer to Windows 7 and looks like there are problems everywhere.
Can some one help me determine what is the problem here. At least if I could get a proper error message back in msgbox would be most helpful.
EDIT:
This is the connection string function.
Function GetIndexDatabaseConnectionString
Dim objXmlDocument As Object
Dim objXmlGlobalSettingsFileParh As Object
Dim objXmlIndexDatabaseConnectionString As Object
Dim strGlobalSettingsFilePath As String
Dim strTemp As String
Const strSettingsFilePath = "C:\Data\LocalDocsDistibutingSystem\Settings.xml"
Set objXmlDocument = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
objXmlDocument.Load strSettingsFilePath
Set objXmlGlobalSettingsFileParh = objXmlDocument.selectSingleNode("DocsDistributingSystem/GlobalSettingsFilePath")
strGlobalSettingsFilePath = objXmlGlobalSettingsFileParh.childNodes(0).Text
Set objXmlGlobalSettingsFileParh = Nothing
Set objXmlDocument = Nothing
Set objXmlDocument = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
objXmlDocument.Load strGlobalSettingsFilePath
Set objXmlIndexDatabaseConnectionString = objXmlDocument.selectSingleNode("DocsDistibutingSystem/AscentCapture/IndexDatabase/ConnectionString")
strTemp = objXmlIndexDatabaseConnectionString.childNodes(0).Text
Set objXmlIndexDatabaseConnectionString = Nothing
Set objXmlDocument = Nothing
GetIndexDatabaseConnectionString = strTemp
End Function
This is the relevant line from Settings.xml:
<ConnectionString> Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=LINO2;User Id=****;Password=****;OLEDB.NET=True; </ConnectionString>
The real data is masked with *. The connection to Oracle appears to be ok. I created ODBC and linked server to sql using the provider and connection data. It works. It must be something missing installed on the computer for ADODB to work...
The connection appears to be working OK. There is no error when its initialized.
The error happens in Call rs.Open(sSql, cn). All i want is the detailed error message when the error happens...
Many thanks.
As it states on MS Knowledge Base
An error occurred while executing a method or getting or setting a
property of an object variable. The error was reported by the
application that created the object. Check the properties of the Err
object to determine the source and nature of the error. Also try using
the On Error Resume Next statement immediately before the accessing
statement, and then check for errors immediately following the
accessing statement.
So as they suggest check the Err object, in a similar fashion to:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Msg = "Error: " & Str(Err.Number) & ", generated by " _
& Err.Source & ControlChars.CrLf & Err.Description
MsgBox(Msg, MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Error")
End If
So this will bring back the error in a MsgBox, however you can just use Response.Write if you want it easier to copy & paste etc..
to get the error description you can do as follows :
Function GetIndexDatabaseConnectionString()
On Error GoTo Errorfound
'your
'function
'body
Exit Function
Errorfound:
With Err
MsgBox "Source: " & .Source & vbCrLf & "Desc: " & .Description, vbCritical, "Error " & CStr(.Number)
End With 'Err
End Function
