VBScript Resources

There are many resources available on the web and at local bookstores to help learn VBScript. Some essential resources include:

• Microsoft's VBScript Web Site: The definitive reference on VBScript straight from the originators of the language.
• The microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript UseNet internet user group is a forum where thousands of VBScript developers congregate to ask questions and exchange ideas.

Have no idea what a UseNet group is or how to find one? Visit www.remarq.com and search for forums that discuss "microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript". From there you should be able to find your way to the list of messages on the group.

• We strongly recommend examining the examples that come with Active Call Center. The numerous example Call Trees include a variety of different Macros and demonstrate integration with Microsoft Excel, Word, Access, Outlook, Internet Explorer, and Visual Basic.
• Books such as "Learning VBScript" or "Learn VBScript in 21 Days" may also prove useful.

When using resources for VBScript, keep in mind that most people use VBScript for developing dynamic web content. Therefore a lot of the discussion may be geared towards embedding VBScript in web pages. Ignore these discussions for the purposes of Active Call Center: Active Call Center uses the VBScript language in its rawest form, without all of the necessary formalities required to embed scripts in web pages.
