hMailServer Com code

[Doug Bulmer]

I'm trying to convert this code from VB Script to PB Win. I get an Error 99 as noted in the code. I can not figure out what is wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks


VB Script Code

#IF 0
   ' Working vbScript
  
  OPTION EXPLICIT
  CONST sAdminPassword = "password"
  DIM oApp
  SET oApp = CreateObject("hMailServer.Application")

   ' Authenticate the client.
  CALL oApp.Authenticate ("Administrator", sAdminPassword)

  MSGBOX oApp.Version, 0, "Server Version"
  MSGBOX oApp.Status.StartTime, 0, "Server Start Time"

#ENDIF

PB Win 9.01 code

#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL
#DEBUG DISPLAY ON
#INCLUDE "hMailServer.inc"

FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
  #DEBUG CODE ON
  DIM oServer AS IInterfaceApplication
  DIM sAdminPwd AS STRING
  sAdminPwd = INPUTBOX$("Enter administrator password", "hMailServer")

  LET oServer = NEWCOM $PROGID_hMailServer_Application
  IF ISOBJECT(oServer) THEN
    oServer.Authenticate ("Administrator", sAdminPwd)
    ? ACODE$(oServer.Version)
    ' PBWin 9.01 reports Error 99 on the next line.
    ? ACODE$(oServer.Status.StartTime)

  END IF
  
  LET oServer = NOTHING
  #DEBUG CODE OFF

END FUNCTION

oServer.Authenticate ("Administrator", sAdminPwd)

must be:

oServer.Authenticate (UCODE$("Administrator"), UCODE$(sAdminPwd))

Thank you!

I don't know what I was thinking :dang: I converted the strings coming out.

Looks interesting!

note for anyone else testing, if you are getting error 5 then:
remove chr$(0)
ie. replace
? oServer.Version
with
? REMOVE$(oServer.Version,CHR$(0))
