VB File System Object and Removable Storage

Hi Everyone,
I am writing a program to perform backup operations using the VB scripting
File System Object to copy to removable media storage devices. The backup
operation works fine, but when we attempt to remove the backup device, we
often get a "Delayed Write Failed" error message, indicating that data was
cached and the copy was not actually finished before device removal.
The problem now is how can we guarantee that all data is flushed from the
file buffers. The F.S.O. doesn't seem to give us any means to do this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, and regards,
Garet

I'm writing a utility that needs to be aware of media (CD, DVD, Zip disk, usb stick, etc) insertions and removals. Which seems to be more of a problem than I original imagined. I can't use any auto-run features because this is actually running on Windows XP Embedded... so that's the first thing to be aware of. Using WM_DEVICECHANGE works about half the time...that is, it works when a DVD or CD is inserted, but it does not work for Zip...

Howdy I've got a rather strange issue occuring. I used forms based .NET authentication, although I'm also setting some session variables when people login. However, I've found when people use one of my webform pages which includes a button that pops up a window where you can upload files, if you upload files in this popup window, it seems to somehow clear out all of the session variables and the users get logged out. However, if...

Closing a file can (I believe) raise an exception. Is that documented anywhere? I've spent a lot of frustrating time trying to track this down, with no luck, which suggests that either my google-foo is weak or that it isn't documented. Is IOError the only exception it can raise? The only thing I have found is this: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2004-November/026031.html Out of curiosity, is there a simple way to...

The code is in the code behind file for the aspx page and is called directly from a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
