Paul, your post says that VB Script can not make Windows API calls, but I was wondering if it can make calls to other API's? I have been using Macro Express to automate a cad program that has support for COM and have been experimenting with Visual Basic 2005 Express and the cad API. Impressed with the added capabilities of the VB Script included in macros, I was thinking about trying to incorporate some of my cad API calls into VB Script to do simple tasks. I found your post while doing reseach on this idea, and it does not look encouraging. I learned to program back in the days of Fortan and punch cards, and only a rookie trying to learn this new way of programming using Visual Basic. My current mode of operation with Macro Express is to run one of my compiled VB programs and then get the data that the VB program saved to a file. This forum help get me going with this technique.
