Object required

[Brian]

Hello. I am comparing the beginning of a string to another string using the
StartsWith() function. My line of code is:

if checkPrinter.St artsWith("\\med ea\") then
WshNetwork.Remo vePrinterConnec tion oPrinters.Item( i+1), true, false
end if

When the program gets to the line with the StartsWith(), I get an error
stating:

Object Required: 'Microsoft Office Doc'

Anybody know what this means? I am using Visual Studio .net 2003 to do a
..vbs. Thanks for any help!!

Re: Object required

Its a string that holds the path to a printer such as: \\medea\printer 1

Re: Object required

Use this instead.

if InStr(1, checkPrinter, "\\medea\") then
WshNetwork.Remo vePrinterConnec tion oPrinters.Item( i+1), true, false
end if
