    VB vs. VB Script

    I am trying to write a piece of code that would access an Outlook custom made form. I am having some trouble with objects that can access the form, I read somewhere that when working with outlook you could directly add code to the custom made from with VBScript, is that true and do you think that this is recommended?
    Thanks

    VBScript, typically, is used in web pages. I think you are talking about VBA or Visual Basic For Applications as that is what is used with applications like Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

    Do you have a question regarding using VBA with Outlook?

    If so, I can move this over the VBA section, and let the VBA gurus lend a hand.

    Well does anyone here have a suggestion as to what i should do. My options are:
    1. Write a VB program that extracts text from a custom made outlook form?
    or
    2. Write a VB Script program behind the custom made form in question?
    Which one would work better?

    Thanks
