[RESOLVED] use variable in objNewJob.Create

[[email protected]]

Hello everyone,

I am building an application that allows several different people to schedule tasks on a server. It needs to be able to schedule the task on different days of the week. The following code works:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objNewJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")
errJobCreated = objNewJob.Create _
("C:\Programming\VB6\operations\sendouts\" & Combo1.text & "\send.bat", "****0801" & Mid(cboTime, 1, 2) & Mid(cboTime, 4, 2) & "00.000000-420", _
True, 1 Or 2, , , jobId)

When I change the '1 or 2' and replace it with a string variable:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objNewJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")
errJobCreated = objNewJob.Create _
("C:\Programming\VB6\operations\sendouts\" & Combo1.text & "\send.bat", "****0801" & Mid(cboTime, 1, 2) & Mid(cboTime, 4, 2) & "00.000000-420", _
True, dayList, , , jobId)

where dayList = "1 Or 2" I get a type mismatch error (take it doesn't like it being a string). I can see the mismatch, but can not find out what to cast this to in order to allow the code to work the way I would like it to (or if it is possible).

Can anyone provide any help?

Thanks in advance.

After days of searching, I found the answer. By setting the variable dayList to int (instead of string as I had it) you can solve this problem
