    Question

    Hi Everyone,
    I download Microsoft Script Debugger and tried the following script by opening notepad ans saved as test1.vbs, then I went to dos command and typed wscript //x test1.vbs
    I got this error
    Script: c:\vbscript\test1.vbs
    line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: expected statement
    code: 800a0400
    source: microsoft vbscript compilation

    Did I download the correct debugger?
    What is the correct way of compiling?
    Is the extention correct.
    Can someone give me a hint or help in how to debug it, I know visual basic but I am starter in vbscript. Can you give me valuable book names for vbscript. Thanks in advance.

    OK so I don't know anythiug about stand alone vbs scripts but this bit of code opens notepad from a .vbs file

    Code:
    
Option Explicit 

Dim oShell

Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

oShell.Run "notepad.exe", 1, FALSE

WScript.Quit
