It saves writing a tremendous amount of API code, and makes some APIs that are simply unreachable within VFP unaided accessible. When combined with the ADSI components, you can maintain your network users and groups cross-platform, and if nothing else, ADSI saves me from having to use the < expletive deleted > Novell API and controls; ADSI can do everything for both environments.
It's also a hell of a good platform for writing lightweight install or update applications, and that seems to be a lot of what I'm doing for clients these days. And if you do dush-based software updates for a web site, it makes life even easier.
And I can totally avoid VB this way - I can use JScript instead. ;-)

>>I found a tremendous reference for the WSH; it's an electronic version of Guenter Born's
Inside the Windows Scripting Host (currently printed only in German; supposedly. MS will be reprinting it in English.) Portions of the document are incorporated into John Saville's NTFaq Web page (
www.ntfaq.com; I'd recommend making it a regular stop while Web surfing, especially if you have any interest in NT and Win2K!).
