To temporarily deal with a network slowness issue, we've set up a user
with a briefcase to work locally, and to synchronize with his network
files when he's done. (We're not using Offline Files because he's not
actually going offline.)

I thought it would help if I could find a way to synchronize the
briefcase automatically, either as a logon and logoff script or as a
Scheduled Task. Some searching on the Internet leaves me little hope
that there is a way to do this: others have asked, but I have found no
responses.

Does anyone here know of a way to script the synchronization of a
briefcase?

I can tell you the command line for the first dialog you can see. But that seems to be it. A briefcase is a ordinary folder with two files in it.

This code can do it. As it is it enumerates every command. For me Update All is 2. So
' objItemVerbs.item(2).doit

will do it if you run the rest of the code. There may be a simplier way - see underneath this way (I'll let you experiment).


set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
set objFolder2 = objShell.Namespace("C:\Documents and Settings\David Candy\Desktop\New Folder")
set objFolderItem = objFolder2.Self
set objItemVerbs = objFolderItem.Verbs

For i = 0 to objItemVerbs.count -1
A=objItemVerbs.item(i)
msgbox A & vbcrlf & i
' objItemVerbs.item(i).doit
i = i + 1
Next

Or Try these two ways

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set MyComp=objShell.NameSpace(17)
Set CD=MyComp.ParseName("E:\")
Set Context=CD.Verbs
CD.InvokeVerb "E&ject"


'This line on are comments only
'Note if a letter is underlined you must insert an ampersand before it.
'Normally only the first line and the line below is needed for most verbs. Eject is different.
'objshell.ShellExecute "e:" ,,,"E&ject"
'object.ShellExecute(sFile [,vArguments] [,vDirectory] [,vOperation] [,vShow])

Okay, I see what this is doing now (I'm not very famliar with the
Shell object). Strangely, it's not coming up with Update All as any of
the verbs items when run against a briefcase.

Choosing verbs this way crashes scripts on some objects. So testing is needed for each case.,

Let me show you what I get. I created a new briefcase on my desktop,
opened it, dragged a new text file from My Documents into the
briefcase, then closed it. The script is on the desktop and called
listcommands.vbs, and has appropriate paths changed. Then I did this:


=============================

Somehow, I don't have Update All as an option this way, although the
briefcase is functioning normally.
