>If you want to learn more about the WSH from a VFP perspective, and you haven't read the series that Ed Rauh and I wrote on the VFUG site, I'd recommend that as a starting point. The series began last September, and I recently wrote a post-script article on it.

>If you're interested in learning to use VBScript, I'd recommend The Windows Script Host Programmers Reference by Dino Esposito from Wrox. It's not a tutorial on VBScript, however. There are other books that deal with that. Syntactically, it's not terribly different from VFP, you just have to get used to certain things, and, IMO, any competent VFP programmer can pick it up rather easily.
