Running Quickbooks as another user

[Rusty Lugnutz]

New to AutoIt

trying to automate the runas command for running quickbooks as a local account with admin rights.

Here is my code

Set the RunAs parameters to use Local user account

RunAsSet("username", "%computername%", "password",1)

; Run quickbooks as Local user account with admin rights

RunWait("qbw32.exe","C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Pro",)

I figure based on the tutorials this should be semi simple but I continue to get an error.

Line 14 (File "c:\):

RunWait("qbw32.exe","C:\program Files\Intuit\Quickbooks Pro",)

Error: Unable to execute the external program.

The parameter is incorrect.

Please advise

[this-is-me]

RunWait("C:\program Files\Intuit\Quickbooks Pro\qbw32.exe")

You also need to replace RunAsSet("username", "%computername%", "password",1)

with one of the following

Opt("ExpandEnvStrings",1)
RunAsSet("username", "%computername%", "password",1)

or

RunAsSet("username", @ComputerName, "password",1)

Edit: Here's the full code that should work:

RunAsSet("username", @ComputerName, "password",1)
; Run quickbooks as Local user account with admin rights
RunWait("C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Pro\qbw32.exe")
