Where can I go to learn VBScript?

[GRitt]

I know VBA for Excel, is VBScript very similar? Anyone know a site that's really good for teaching yourself it?

microsoft page about it, might be of some use, I haven't looked through it yet but it seems with some programming background it could be of use.

Yes, VBA, VB and VBScript are all fairly similar.
There's a nice intro to VBScript at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript

It includes some nice sample code to get you started.

One thing to be aware of is that VBScript can be used in three different environments:

- within a browser to add functionality to web pages (HTML)
- to generate web pages dynamically (ASP - Active Server Pages)
- or within the Windows environment (WSH - Windows Scripting Host)

The environment that is of use within Air Mouse is the WHS one where you can interact directly with Windows.

Once you are familiar with the basics outlined in the Wikipedia article Example section, there is a list of all the functions and commands with examples at:

Post back if you need more info,
