    Heh.... Just like SQL allows itself to take any form... or Java... or...

    Touche.

    I worded that poorly. It's not so much that you can write poor code in VBScript (you can do that anywhere as you pointed out) - it's just that it's almost impossible to build something WELL in it.

    My perception is that that VBScript doesn't really allow you to build stuff the right way, because it's starts from the untyped, don't really need to declare or set anything. It's Humpty Dumpty: it starts out with no structure, and you can't seem to force any decent amount of structure into it.

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
