Deserialize a JSON String where there are no fixed KEY using vb - json

I have extracted some data from a JSON Stream with one element being an array. The result of this is
"{" & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-22"": 128.75," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-23"": 151.47," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-24"": 151.47" & vbCrLf & "}"
I am then trying to separate the 3 values and place them into a database using VB.
Tried parse, deserialize but going round in circles.
Dim uObject = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse("{" & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-22"": 128.75," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-23"": 151.47," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-24"": 151.47" & vbCrLf & "}")
DEBUG.PRINT(uObject(1, 1)) - This fails
Trying to get the following output
Key1: 2019-08-22 Value1: 128.75
Key2: 2019-08-23 Value1: 151.47
Key3: 2019-08-24 Value1: 151.47

I did a quick test:
Dim JSON_Obj As JObject = JObject.Parse("{" & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-22"": 128.75," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-23"": 151.47," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-24"": 151.47" & vbCrLf & "}")
For Each item In JSON_Obj
Debug.Print(String.Format("Key: {0} Value: {1}", item.key, item.value))
Next
'>Key: 2019-08-22 Value: 128.75
'>Key: 2019-08-23 Value: 151.47
'>Key: 2019-08-24 Value: 151.47
If you can't get it by key name, simply get them with array index or something, like JSON_Obj1 = JSON_Obj.Children.ToArray()(0)

With great help from CruelD; my final working code is
Dim JSON_Obj As Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse("{" & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-22"": 128.75," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-23"": 151.47," & vbCrLf & " ""2019-08-24"": 151.47" & vbCrLf & "}")
Dim JSON_Data As List(Of JToken) = JSON_Obj.Children().ToList
For Each uItem As JProperty In JSON_Data
Debug.Print(uItem.Name.ToString & " - " & uItem.Value.ToString)
Next
This works a treat.

I've tried to use the minimum code from the OP to provide an example. I don't know what the crypt function returns. It is very possible you'll want to include that inside the StrConv function as well. If so that will make it easier as you will not have to encrypt and concatenate the string in pieces. You will probably be able to look as response.Text to determine if you need to do the StrConv on the individual pieces or if you can do it on the whole string.

Access 2010 - Audit Trail with composite primary keys

I have been unable to find a solution to this problem, so I hope some of you may be of help. I'm trying to create an Audit Trail for an Access database to track changes. Many of my tables have composite primary keys (multiple fields combined to uniquely identify records). I obtained the following code for the Audit module:
Const cDQ As String = """"
Sub AuditTrail(frm As Form, recordid As Control)
'Track changes to data. 'recordid identifies the pk field's corresponding
'control in frm, in order to id record.
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varBefore As Variant
Dim varAfter As Variant
Dim strControlName As String
Dim strSQL As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
'Get changed values.
For Each ctl In frm.Controls
With ctl
'Avoid labels and other controls with Value property.
Select Case .ControlType
Case acTextBox
If .Value <> .OldValue Then
varBefore = .OldValue
varAfter = .Value
strControlName = .Name
'Build INSERT INTO statement.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO " _
& "Audit (EditDate, RecordID, SourceTable, " _
& " SourceField, BeforeValue, AfterValue) " _
& "VALUES (Now()," _
& cDQ & recordid.Value & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & frm.RecordSource & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & .Name & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & varBefore & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & varAfter & cDQ & ")"
'& cDQ & Environ("username") & cDQ & ", " _
'View evaluated statement in Immediate window.
Debug.Print strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End If
Case acComboBox
If .Value <> .OldValue Then
varBefore = .OldValue
varAfter = .Value
strControlName = .Name
'Build INSERT INTO statement.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO " _
& "Audit (EditDate, User, RecordID, SourceTable, " _
& " SourceField, BeforeValue, AfterValue) " _
& "VALUES (Now()," _
'& cDQ & Environ("username") & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & recordid.Value & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & frm.RecordSource & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & .NAME & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & varBefore & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & varAfter & cDQ & ")"
'View evaluated statement in Immediate window.
Debug.Print strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End If
Case acListBox

varBefore = .OldValue
varAfter = .Value
strControlName = .Name
'Build INSERT INTO statement.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO " _
& "Audit (EditDate, User, RecordID, SourceTable, " _

End If
End Select
End With
Next
Set ctl = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description & vbNewLine _
& Err.Number, vbOKOnly, "Error"
End Sub
And then in the code for individual Forms I have the following code to run the module:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Call AuditTrail(Me, HeaderID)
End Sub
I have found when I substitute the field name where HeaderID is for the name of a single valued primary key, the code works fine. When my table has multiple fields making up the primary key I am not sure how to format 'HeaderID' to recognize the composite of those values. I also have look up tables in some forms, but I'm unsure if that is contributing to the problem.
The error messages I'm getting:
Compile Error:
ByRef argument type mismatch
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Tiffany
Your AuditTrail subroutine takes as its parameters the form and the control where the edit to the data happens. So when you pass 'Me' and the name of the field (control), you're actually passing the current form and the control to the subroutine. When you change 'HeaderID' to anything other than a control name you will get the 'Type Mismatch' error because your subroutine is expecting a control and not a piece of data.
You will need to adjust your AuditTrail subroutine to take the index value that you actually want to store in your table. If your combined ID is a string made up of three values then change the parameter of the AuditTrail subroutine from 'control' to 'string'.

run msgbox in background VBscript

Two part question:
I am trying to write a VBscript where a loop runs, but there is a message box that the user can use to abort the sequence at anytime. I know that if you have a sequence with msgbox in it, the script will stop executing until an answer has been received, but can I run it as a subscript, so it doesn't interfere with the main script?
when I use the following script, I never see the msgbox
function test()
msgbox ("test")
end function
wscript.sleep 1000
msgbox "done
i was under the impression that function let you get inputs. Can this even be done with pure vbscript?
Not what I was going for but this is a work around I found. It makes a temporary msgbox that closes itself after a time. Gives the user a 5 second window to abort the sequence each loop.
set infobox = createobject("Wscript.shell")
do while E<N+1
E=E+1
if InfoBox.Popup ("Click cancel to stop sequence", _
5, "Abort Sequence?", 1) = 2 then
E=N+1
end if
loop
The Trick here is to have the first script create and start a second script. This second script will just run in the background and can then wait and kill the initial script Process... This can easily be done with a Function and can be called at the start of your script. When your main script ends, it simply kills the previously created second script. Note: the second script which is created will automatically delete itself upon being run. See the below Script for a good working example:
Dim iKillPID
'Start Kill Script At Start Of Script
iKillPID = KillPID()
For X = 10 To 0 Step -1
WScript.Echo "Closing in " & X & " Seconds"
WScript.Sleep 1000
Next
'Kill The Kill Script At End Of Script
GetObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle='" & iKillPID & "'").Terminate
MsgBox "This Script is Complete"
'$$$$$$$$$$

'Command Line To New Kill Script
strKillCommand = "WScript.exe " & Chr(34) & strKillScriptPath & Chr(34)

Also, If you're using CScript as the Scripting Engine for your VBS, I believe you can stop the script by pressing CTRL + C in the Command Prompt Window.
Now if your super motivated you can create an HTA that does about the same thing, but present a UserForm or Custom Internet Explorer Window to click and it can also loop through and check if the process is still running and close itself when the script is finished and the process is no longer running. You can add pretty colors and everything too!

Inserting string variable into sql string in vb.net

I am having a hard time inserting WONum into my sql string.
I have tried using ' and double '' around WONum. Someone also suggested # and [] around it, but nothing is working thus far.
I keep getting the following error: Incorrect syntax near '1577'
WONum value is actually WO-1577 during run time, but when DA.fill is executed I get that error. I starting to think that the dash is doing something in sql that I'm not aware of. Any help would help, because I have to do several more similar functions in my application.
Public Function GetTechTimes(ByVal WONum As String)
Dim strSQL As String = "Select customer_name, workorder_work_to_be_performed, workorder_work_performed, workorder_notes, workorder_warranty_work, workorder_open_date, workorder_status,workorder_completion_date, wo_tech_name, wo_tech_time, wo_parts_description from Customers, workorders, WorkOrder_Technicians, WorkOrder_Parts Where(customer_id = workorder_customer And wo_tech_wo_id = workorder_id And wo_parts_wo_id = workorder_id And workorder_number = " & WONum & ""
Dim DA As New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, Conn)
Dim DS As New DataSet
DA.Fill(DS, "TechTimes")
Return DS
End Function
Use Sql-Parameters! That will avoid conversion or other issues and - more important - prevents SQL-Injection attacks.
Public Function GetTechTimes(ByVal WONum As String) As DataSet
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT customer_name, " & Environment.NewLine & _
"workorder_work_to_be_performed," & Environment.NewLine & _
"workorder_work_performed, " & Environment.NewLine & _
"workorder_notes, " & Environment.NewLine & _

"AND wo_tech_wo_id = workorder_id " & Environment.NewLine & _
"AND wo_parts_wo_id = workorder_id " & Environment.NewLine & _
"AND workorder_number = #workorder_number "
Using con = New SqlConnection(YourConnectionString)
Using da = New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, con)
da.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#workorder_number", WONum)
Dim DS As New DataSet
da.Fill(DS)
Return DS
End Using
End Using
End Function
Note that i've also used Using-statements to ensure that all gets diposed even in case of an exception.
Bye the way, the reason for your exception: you had an opening brace here: Where(customer_id which was never closed.
As long as workorder_number is a string then putting single quote ' around the WONum is all you need.
You won't need # or square brackets.
If it's not working with the single quote then ensure you've identified/isolated your problem correctly. Remove the And workorder_number = " & WONum & "" from the end of your sql and see if it works without that. If not, then your problem isn't in the WONum, it's earlier in the string.
