Hello
I'm running an executable from navision that write messages in event log. I would like to use a standard automation to query theh eventlog for the message. Can someone point me to the right direction?
The com has to be standard so that I don't have to register it on every box.
Thank you.

Today is your lucky Day.
Here is an example on how to do it. It uses windows host scrip.
//look/query at event for the error. WindowShell.CurrentDirectory(ENVIRON('windir') + '\system32\'); txtCommand := 'cscript eventquery.vbs /L Application /FI "Type eq Error" /V /r 1 /FO "LIST"'; WSHExec := WindowShell.Exec(txtCommand); WSHTextStream := WSHExec.StdOut; //read till 15th line for error I := 0; WHILE (NOT WSHTextStream.AtEndOfStream) AND (I < 15) DO BEGIN txtMsg := WSHTextStream.ReadLine(); I += 1; END; ERROR(txtMsg);WindowShell is of type 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell
WSHExec is of type 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshExec
WSHTextStream is of type 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.TextStream
You can find more info on this automation in the following link

as far as eventquery.vbs is concerned and parameters that you can pass to it. you can look in the following link.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490900.aspx
the code above you can run from cmd prompt and you'll see the output.
Navigate to c:\windows\system32\
then paste this code
cscript eventquery.vbs /L Application /FI "Type eq Error" /V /r 1 /FO "LIST"
and run it'll you see the error.
Good luck.
