Couple of questions about VBScripting... first, I have a script that performs a server hardware inventory; currently I have an input box prompt for the user to provide servername and the script runs fine. But when I go to compile it, I get errors "declaration expected." How can I build the prompt for the servername variable into the compiled script?

-Second: how to create a single script that calls three or four other scripts?

I'm pretty much a newbie to VBScripting and I'm learning on the fly so please forgive anything I've called by the wrong name, etc. I will be glad to post snips of my scripts if that helps. Most of them came straight from the Microsoft scripting center! :)

Thanks!

I am trying to count the amount of numbers(decimals: x/100) between another set of decimals EX: (0.0 and 0.1) and total them in a variable called pointOne and I'm not sure why it isn't working. Here's a code segment:

if((x/100) >= 0.00 || (x/100) <= 0.10)
{
pointONE = pointONE++;
}
This continues for the numbers 0.0 to 0.9 (contained in if statements) and at the end of the if statements prints the amount of numbers for every given range. Any idea what is wrong?

You press "Start" in order to "shut down" does not make sense?

Why is it all like this?

Many years ago, I was a skilled programmer in Spectrum BASIC. Now I would like to learn a more modern programming language. Would it be easy(ish) to learn C++ with an already broad knowledge of BASIC?

I am trying to access MS Word stored on the local hard drive of most systems, another words, if you are on my web site and would like to write a document, how would I go about having a "Click" area where the person (assuming they have MS Word) on their system, can click the box, open a new document for writing whatever, save it to their hard drive or flash drive, and return to my web site. My main problem is getting MS Word to open up. Any explainations on how to do this would be great. I have tired .exe statements and so on ..\MSOffice\MSword.exe with no luck so far. Microsoft drives me up a wall!!!!!!!!!!!!
