Question : VBScript to export members of Groups and export to Excel

hihi,

I'm trying to Export members of Groups into Excel, each group is a new worksheet.

The answer in this question works OK:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_26298266.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+10+30+distribut+excel+export+get+group+member+script

Except I would like it to just populate each worksheet, not ask me to click OK for each user.

The maximum character length for worksheet names is 31 characters, some of the groups are longer than 31 characters and the script stops there, is there any way to just cap the worksheet name at 31 characters?

thanks

Answer : VBScript to export members of Groups and export to Excel

Hi, I have commented out the WScript.Echo lines, and changed this line
.ActiveSheet.Name= groupName

to this
.ActiveSheet.Name= Left(groupName, 31)

Regards,

Rob.
