Obtaining the Component

Hop on Google and find the component you need. I usually try to come up with some keywords that match the task I'm trying to do, and then throw "script component" in quotes, along for the ride. That usually delivers some good results in a page or two of hits.

For this walk-through, I've selected a component that allows me to display a more complex dialog box than VBScript provides. You can get the component's source code from http://cwashington.netreach.net/depo/view.asp?Index=409&ScriptType=component; you need to download it onto your local computer to use it. The component is credited to Micheal Harris.
