Is there a 64bit version of the Function DeviceCapabilities in the winspool.drv library? What I'm looking for is a conversion of:
Private Declare Function DeviceCapabilities Lib "winspool.drv" _
Alias "DeviceCapabilitiesA" (ByVal lpDeviceName As String, _
ByVal lpPort As String, ByVal iIndex As Long, lpOutput As Any, _
ByVal dev As Long) As Long
Clearly I change Declare Function to Declare PtrSafe Function but which of the Long variable change and do they change to LongLong or LongPtr? Strange that a trawl of the internet over the last hour hasn't turned up any reference to this?
Programmatically retrieve printer capabilities
I modified this linked code in Microsoft Access to work with 64-bit.
And, by executing Reference Setting "Microsoft ACCESS XX.0 Object Library", I modified the following code to work in Microsoft Excel.
However, the following code is one different: That is the original code
For lngCounter = 1 To lngPaperCount
However, this code will cause an error.
The occurrence of this error is avoided by performing minus one.
For lngCounter = 1 To lngPaperCount -1
You may think such a following code, but code will cause an error, too.
For lngCounter = 0 To lngPaperCount
I don't know if my printer is causing the error or my 64bit Microsoft Office is causing the error.

ByVal dev As Long) As Long
For the function to work the API code line
sCurrentPrinter = Trim$(Left$(ActivePrinter, InStr(ActivePrinter, " on ")))
needs to be changed to
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter

I found one the function of VBA EXCEL which gives me My System's HardDrive Serial No. in hex format.
okay, I have active Microsoft Excel 16.0 Object Library on my system.
when I have run the same code on my friend's system, I got an error of
Error Loading DLL
While checking his systems references, I found He has Active Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library. Which is a clear case of Late Binding and Early Binding? (I thought So....!)
Here's the Code of the function that I have got from the random forum,
Function HdNum() As String
Dim fsObj As Object
Dim drv As Object
Set fsObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set drv = fsObj.Drives("C")
HdNum = VBA.Hex(drv.serialnumber)
End Function
can u please guide me what is the problem actually?
Anyhow, I got the solution to this problem.
The problem I was facing because my friend has installed 64bit Version of MS Office. and to we all have an idea how coding differs in VB7 which is implied to the 64bit version of MS office.
Here below I'm providing the code to this facility to generate HardDisk Serial no. from any of the version of Office.
In the module paste this following code
#If VBA7 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetVolumeInformation Lib _

Thank you Guys.
I just received a standard cheap usb smartcard reader.
I'm trying to find out how to interact with it using VBA in excel.
-- I wrote this as I attempted to create basic smartcard functionality in a workbook. I figured at some point I would get stuck (and I did). If I get unstuck I will update this question until I reach my goal of working smartcard in excel.
TL;DR at this point the error is "Bad DLL calling convention" when calling function SCardListReaders
Smartcards are microcontrollers like AT88SC1608R powered by the reader.
There is a standard windows interface for dealing with the readers centered around winscard.dll.
Some of the documentation is here "Smart Card and Reader Access Functions"
After some research, it seems that the first thing to do is to receive a handle to a "resource manager context" using the function SCardEstablishContext.
This "context" object has "scopes", USER or SYSTEM. These are selected by the two constants SCARD_SCOPE_USER and SCARD_SCOPE_SYSTEM.
From this thread , it seems that SCARD_SCOPE_USER = 1 and SCARD_SCOPE_SYSTEM = 2 . I don't know if these values are signed. Also according to this page, the value of USER might be 0.
So, I have attempted to create some code to use SCardEstablishContext & SCardReleaseContext as follows.
Public Declare Function SCardEstablishContext Lib "winscard.dll" (ByVal dwScope As Long, _
ByVal pvReserved1 As Long, _
ByVal pvReserved2 As Long, _
ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT _
) As Long
Public Declare Function SCardReleaseContext Lib "winscard.dll" (ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT) As Long
Public Type SCARDCONTEXT
CardContext1 As Long
ReaderName As Byte
End Type
Sub GetContext()
Dim lReturn As Long
Dim RSVD1 As Long, RSVD2 As Long
Dim myContext As SCARDCONTEXT
' Constants, maybe unsigned ?
Dim SCARD_SCOPE_USER As Long
Dim SCARD_SCOPE_SYSTEM As Long
SCARD_SCOPE_USER = 1
SCARD_SCOPE_SYSTEM = 2
lReturn = SCardEstablishContext(SCARD_SCOPE_USER, RSVD1, RSVD2, myContext)
Debug.Print lReturn
Debug.Print myContext.CardContext1 & " " & myContext.ReaderName
lReturn = SCardReleaseContext(myContext)
Debug.Print lReturn
End Sub
Running this code returns
-2146435055
0 0
6
Using a decimal to hex converter I found that the hex value of this -2146435055 is FFFFFFFF80100011 and according to this chart Authentication Return Values
The first return value would be
SCARD_E_INVALID_VALUE
0x80100011
One or more of the supplied parameter values could not be properly interpreted.
I then tried using a value of 0 for SCARD_SCOPE_USER and got this more promising output
0
-855572480 0
6
This might be working so moving on, the next function appears to be SCardConnect to establish a link to the card in the reader. A successful call here probably means the entire system is working.
I created the following declarations for SCardConnect
I found a list of the constants at this address
Public Const SCARD_SHARE_SHARED As Long = &H2
Public Const SCARD_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE As Long = &H1
Public Const SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT As Long = &H3
Public Const SCARD_PROTOCOL_T0 As Long = &H1
Public Const SCARD_PROTOCOL_T1 As Long = &H2
Public Declare Function SCardConnect Lib "winscard.dll" (ByVal phContext As SCARDCONTEXT, _
ByVal dwShareMode As Long, _
ByVal szReader As String, _
ByVal dwPreferredProtocols As Long, _
ByRef phCard As Long, _
ByRef pdwActiveProtocol As Long _
) As Long
To call this function, I will need the name of the reader. It seems that the SCARDCONTEXT type was supposed to contain the name of the reader but my type declaration might be wrong, I only get an empty byte out of it. I tried changing the type of "ReaderName" variable to string, but then I just get an empty string.
So I will now attempt to use the SCardListReaders function to get the name.
This requires a new constant defined SCARD_DEFAULT_READERS containing text "SCard$DefaultReaders\000"
Public Const SCARD_DEFAULT_READERS As String = "SCard$DefaultReaders\000"
Public Declare Function SCardListReaders Lib "winscard.dll" (ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT, _
ByVal dwShareMode As Long, _
ByVal mszGroups As String, _
ByRef mszReaders As String, _
ByRef pcchReaders As Long _
) As Long
It appears that this function is to be used twice, first to get the length of the output string, by setting mszReaders to NULL the lenght will be outputted by pcchReaders. The second time we prepare a buffer to receive the string from mszReaders.
Now about to give this a try, here is the entire code as it exists.
Public Const SCARD_SCOPE_USER As Long = &H0
Public Const SCARD_SCOPE_SYSTEM As Long = &H2
Public Const SCARD_SHARE_SHARED As Long = &H2
Public Const SCARD_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE As Long = &H1
Public Const SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT As Long = &H3
Public Const SCARD_PROTOCOL_T0 As Long = &H1
Public Const SCARD_PROTOCOL_T1 As Long = &H2
Public Const SCARD_DEFAULT_READERS As String = "SCard$DefaultReaders\000"
Public Declare Function SCardEstablishContext Lib "winscard.dll" (ByVal dwScope As Long, _
ByVal pvReserved1 As Long, _
ByVal pvReserved2 As Long, _
ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT _
) As Long
Public Declare Function SCardReleaseContext Lib "winscard.dll" (ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT) As Long
Public Declare Function SCardConnect Lib "winscard.dll" (ByVal phContext As SCARDCONTEXT, _
ByVal dwShareMode As Long, _
ByVal szReader As String, _
ByVal dwPreferredProtocols As Long, _
ByRef phCard As Long, _
ByRef pdwActiveProtocol As Long _
) As Long
Public Declare Function SCardListReaders Lib "winscard.dll" (ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT, _
ByVal dwShareMode As Long, _
ByVal mszGroups As String, _
ByRef mszReaders As String, _
ByRef pcchReaders As Long _
) As Long
Public Type SCARDCONTEXT
CardContext1 As Long
ReaderName As String
End Type
Sub GetContext()
Dim lReturn As Long
Dim RSVD1 As Long, RSVD2 As Long
Dim myContext As SCARDCONTEXT
lReturn = SCardEstablishContext(SCARD_SCOPE_USER, RSVD1, RSVD2, myContext)
Debug.Print "SCardEstablishContext: Return =" & lReturn & _
" myContext.CardContext1 = " & myContext.CardContext1 & _
" myContext.ReaderName = " & Chr(34) & myContext.ReaderName & Chr(34)
Dim ListOfReaders As String, lenListOfReaders As Long
lReturn = SCardListReaders(myContext, SCARD_SHARE_SHARED, SCARD_DEFAULT_READERS, ListOfReaders, lenListOfReaders)
Debug.Print "SCardListReaders: Return =" & lReturn & _
" ListOfReaders = " & Chr(34) & ListOfReaders & Chr(34) & _
" lenListOfReaders = " & lenListOfReaders
lReturn = SCardReleaseContext(myContext)
Debug.Print "SCardReleaseContext: Return =" & lReturn
End Sub
I attempt to run and get the error
On line
lReturn = SCardListReaders(myContext, SCARD_SHARE_SHARED, SCARD_DEFAULT_READERS, ListOfReaders, lenListOfReaders)
Error
Run-time error '453':
Can't find DLL entry point SCardListReaders in winscard.dll
Reviewing the documentation for SCardListReaders function I find that it does list this DLL, winscard.dll for this function
There is also a line that says
Unicode and ANSI names
SCardListReadersW (Unicode) and SCardListReadersA (ANSI)
So I tried adding an "Alias" parameter to the declation for SCardListReaders and now the declaration is like this
Public Declare Function SCardListReaders Lib "winscard.dll" _
Alias "SCardListReadersA" (ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT, _
ByVal dwShareMode As Long, _
ByVal mszGroups As String, _
ByRef mszReaders As String, _
ByRef pcchReaders As Long _
) As Long
Running this code I get the error
Run-time error '49':
Bad DLL calling convention
According to VB documentation it seems that this error is often caused by " incorrectly omitting or including the ByVal keyword from the Declare statement".
Now I failed to mention something earlier, in the declaration for SCardListReaders, when I first tried it, I declared phContext as
ByVal phContext As SCARDCONTEXT
Since this is an input only, I figured it didn't need to be ByRef.
However, when I did this I got the following error
Complile error:
User-defined type may not be passed ByVal
So I modified the line to be
ByRef phContext As SCARDCONTEXT
Which leads to the Bad DLL calling convention error.
To attempt to resolve this, I now replace all instances of
phContext As SCARDCONTEXT
with
phContext As long
and give it another go
This gives the same "Bad DLL calling convention" error
So perhaps it really needed that SCARDCONTEXT type variable and looking at it again, I changed the type of ReaderName from Byte to String at some point
So I change the type declaration back to
Public Type SCARDCONTEXT
CardContext1 As Long
ReaderName As Byte
End Type
And I change back all phContext As long to phContext As SCARDCONTEXT and still I get the "Bad DLL calling convention" error !!
So I went back to the SCardEstablishContext function documentation for clues on the structure of that "LPSCARDCONTEXT phContext"
At this point I am stuck, I can't find how to properly declare this SCARDCONTEXT type or if that really is my error.
I hope you can find where I went wrong before and I also hope that this charts some of the road to working with smartcards in VBA for others.
thanks for reading, bye !
Here is some code that requests a user select a smartcard and returns the name of the card.

I have an Access database that needs to check the username of the user using Environ("USERNAME").
While this works for my users who are using Win7, I have recently upgraded to Win8 and the code returns the text "User" on my laptop. I have also tried CreateObject("WScript.Network").Username with the same result.
Is this a windows 8 thing and will I have a problem when the other users upgrade?
Is there a way that I can change/configure this "User" text? My laptop is not connected to the corporate network that the other users are using so it may be that when they upgrade to Win8 their laptops will return the correct network username.
I would use this Windows API call:
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

You should be able to do this using a WMI query.

Dim uname, udomain As String
Dim objProcess As Object
For Each objProcess In colProcessList
objProcess.GetOwner uname, udomain
Next
GetFullName = UCase(udomain) & "\" & UCase(uname)
End Function
If you don't need the context, just remove "UCase(udomain) & "\" &"
I have been using the following module for a few months now. It ultimatly returns the full name of the current user, but you are ofcourse able to get all the data you need.
This code has never failed me before, including windows 8 if I'm not mistaking.
You can call the code with "GetFullNameOfLoggedUser()"

This used to work last week. I suspect a Windows update broke something. When using ShellExecute, it is forcing the URLs into lowercase, breaking parameter values passed to a case-sensitive server!

Will open http://www.yahoo.com/?uppercase=lowercase
Version
I'm using Windows 8.1. I tried it in 3 browsers. Lowercase in Chrome, lowercase in IE, and Opera chops off the query parameter, but the host is lowercase.
Ok I solved it by creating a temporary HTML file, finding the executable associated with that, then launching the executable directly with the URL. Sheesh.

Use FileProtocolHandler instead of ShellExecute:

ByVal lpszCmdLine As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

With FileProtocolHandler, the lowercase conversion does not occur.
I have this problem under Windows 8.1, but not under Windows 7.
In my case using a temp ".html" file wasn't an option because those are linked to gedit so i can edit them.
I can't say if it works on the domain part, but i needed case sensitivity for the GET parameters.
I accomplished that by simple encoding everything in hex. Not just characters like "/" but everything.
I got a VB SCRIPT off the internet to create new mail alerts for secondary email accounts in Outlook(2010).
Now this is the first part of the code, and when running Outlook, it gives me the following error:
"Compile Error: Invalid Character"
The debugger underlines the _ character in the following line: "sndPlaySoundA" _
'On the next line change the file name and path of the sound you want to play.'

UPDATE: A new error has risen: (After I fixed the New line issue on line 1 after "sndPlaySoundA") as refered to by Adrian below)

According to the code sample you've provided there you need a new line immediately after the _. The underscore character is a line continuation in VBA (which is what you're using, not VBScript. Slightly different beasts) and so requires that you continue on the next line, not the same line. So instead of
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" _ (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long Public Declare Function MessageBox _
Lib "User32" Alias "MessageBoxA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal lpText As String, _
ByVal lpCaption As String, _
ByVal wType As Long) _
As Long
you should have
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" _
(ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function MessageBox _
Lib "User32" Alias "MessageBoxA" _

ByVal lpText As String, _
ByVal lpCaption As String, _
ByVal wType As Long) _

EDIT: I obviously didn't read all the way to the end of that example line, or else I would have seen that the example somehow managed to mash two function declarations onto one line as well as using the invalid positioning of the line separator. I've fixed that up now.
