About eBook:The Book includes the main features and concepts of VBScript programming, as well as an examination of how VBScript is used in its four major scripted environments: Active Server Pages, Windows Script Host, Outlook forms programming, and client-side scripting for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE).Even seasoned VB professionals should find items of interest here. If you're new to VB, this part of the book is essential reading
It is divided into the following chapters:

Chapter 1
In this chapter, you'll find information on the VBScript language and how it fits in to thesfamily of VB products. Also discuss about the notion that a scripting language is a kind of "glue" meant to hold together and control various objects. Finally, there's also a short discussion of the history of VBA.

Chapter 2
This chapter details how to create the basic program structures in VBScript; how to implement classes, procedures, functions, and properties and how a program follows proceeds in a VBScript program.

Chapter 3
VBScript actually only has a single data type, the variant. This chapter looks at the variant and all its data types and shows how to use them.

Chapter 4
On the assumption that we all strive to create robust applications, this chapter covers error handling in your VBScript application and discusses the process of debugging in order to identify and remove program bugs.

Chapter 5
This chapter shows how to incorporate VBScript code into an Active Server Page and discusses the IIS object model that you access when creating an ASP application.

Chapter 6
Outlook 97 and 98 used VBScript as their only programming language and Outlook forms as their only programmable feature. Outlook 2000 includes two programming languages: VBA for application-level development, and VBScript for forms-based development. In this chapter, we focus on the latter topic by examining the VBScript development environment, discussing how to structure and run Outlook code, and listing some of the basic objects in the Outlook object model

Chapter 7
Programmers, administrators, and power users have long clamored for a "batch language" that would offer the power of the old DOS batch language in a graphical environment. Microsoft's answer is Windows Script Host (WSH) and a scripting language of your choice. In this chapter, we look at VBScript as the "Windows batch language" by examining program flow and how to launch a WSH script, discussing the WSH object model, and focusing on the XML language elements that you can use to better structure your scripts.

Chapter 8
VBScript was first introduced as a scripting language for Internet Explorer, which remains an important, although secondary, area of application for VBScript. In this chapter, we provide a quick overview of how to add script to HTML pages and focus on some of the functionality available through the Internet Explorer object model.

Chapter 9
Windows Script Components (WSC) is a technology that allows you to create what appear to be reusable binary COM components with script.
