Updating Scripts into the new VBA Script Shell

To place your scripts in the new VBA script shell, you basically export
your scripts to a file and import the file into the new shell.  Here's a
more detailed description: 

1. Install Boston WorkStation 6.5 from our Web Site if you haven't
already.
2. Run the WorkStation and load your existing script file.
3. Export the Scripts module (view your script in VBA and click
File...Export File...and Save it as Scripts.bas)
4. In the WorkStation, open a new script.
5. Remove its Scripts module (right click... Remove Scripts... and don't
export it when asked).
6. Import the existing Scripts.bas file into the script (File...
Import... Scripts.bas).
7. Save the script file.

Just to add on to Lew's point...to take advantage of new features in the
current release, about a month old, requires that you update the VBA
shell your old script resides in.  Typically you'd do this by exporting
your script module from the existing script and importing into the new
shell.  Let us know if you're interested in the new features (script
scheduler, WorkStation on the taskbar, auto-run and -shutdown), but are
unsure how update the VBA shell.

(Win2000, BWS 6.5 rev 118, VBA, working with Meditech Magic 4.9,
Meditech NUI Workstation and HSS WinStrat ver 0304 applications)

Actually, two things.

First, I have been trying for quite a while to get my BWS runtime window
to minimize so that the user doesn't have to be looking at something
they don't have to, and maybe messing with it. This can be done with the
following line of code just after your main procedure (start up, or what
ever you call it).

Taskbar = true

Easy enough, but I kept getting compile errors when I tried to run this.
Which brings us to...

Second, be sure you have BostonWorkStationVBA checked in your references
(Tools|References). Somehow, mine was unchecked. I have sent off an
email to Corinna (who has helped me to track this down; tip o' de hat to
you lady!) to see if it is checked off by default when BWS is installed.
If not, I believe it either should be or somewhere in the setup the user
needs to be told to do so.

Hope someone out there finds this useful. If nothing else, it will be in
the archives so that if someone searches for these issues, they will
find it.

BTW, I have been meaning to send out an email suggesting that the Talk
participants, when they have an issue, preface the text with a line
similar to what I have as my first line in this message. I have noticed
that a few of the last questions became easier to answer after
information like this was revealed. It would save us a few emails and
keystrokes if it needs to be determined later on. (Rich, Sara; if there
is more that would help pin down an issue, feel free to offer a counter
suggestion or add to mine).
