How do I...Use VBA to export data to Deki Wiki?

Here is the code I used to interact with our MS SQL Servers and MS Access DBs.  This can also be used with anything that has VBA.  ie Word, Excel, PowerPoint.  I tried to comment as thourghly as I could to help other people adapt this to their environment.

This currently works for me in a MS Office 2003 SP2 Environment, using DekiWiki 1.8.3 via the VM.  I do not have the means to test this on other environments, but it should work as long as IE is installed on your computer.

Let me point out that I am not a programmer by nature, just an all around IT guy.  This code could and should be rewritten to make it more efficient.  I just got this to a working point to import our data.  (We run this weekly)

You will need the following information:
myPage = The name of the page you want to create, case sensitive.  ex: AAAAAA
myPath = The path you want the page in, with trailing /.  ex: Test/
pageText= The html body of your page.  ex: Testing 123 or a variable like strHTML
myServer= The server name you want to post to w/o http:.  ex: myserver.com or 10.1.1.1
myUser= The user name you want to use to create the page.  ex Test.User
myPassword= The password for the above user. ex TestPassword

Then just call the function like below using the examples above.

This will return a string to strStatus with the status information:

strStauts = mypostSite("AAAAA", "Test/", "10.1.1.1",  strHTML, "Test.User", "TestPassword")

 

Or just use this to return nothing:

mypostSite "AAAAA", "Test/", "10.1.1.1",  strHTML, "Test.User", "TestPassword"

 

I have attached two text files.
1.  Post Functions.txt  The function itself to upload a file to your wiki
2.  CreateHTML.txt Is a sample that loops through a table called tblServers, and posts each record to the wiki in formated HTML.
