VBScript Programmer's Reference (Wrox) has a full
listing of what's different between VB and VBS. There
are actually few differences in actual keywords. But that
doesn't matter much in picking a book. It depends more
on what you want it for. General windows scripting, ASP,
DHTML, or network admin. are all very different uses
of VBS where, although the language is the same, the
usage is likely to be quite different. The challenge won't
be keeping track of things like Instr() and Mid(), which are
mainly the same except without data typing. Rather, the
research you have to do is more likely to be in finding and
learning the COM objects you need for what you want to do.
In other words, if you were doing DHTML, for instance,
an IE DOM reference would come in handy far more than
a VBS reference.

Hi,
Sorry for this dumb question. Is there a difference between VB language
and VB scripting? I need to buy a beginners VB scripting book, I just
don't want to pickup the wrong one.
Thanks.
