In order to write VBScript programs, you have to know how to structure your code so that your scripts and programs execute properly. Each of the different runtime environments for which you write VBScript code has different rules regarding program structure. We'll look at each of these in turn. We'll also examine the ways in which your host environment allows you to import VBScript code libraries, thus allowing you to create reusable code. Finally, we'll end the chapter with a discussion of VBScript usage to write class modules. First, though, it's important to cover the basic structures of VBScript that are relevant to all of the different script types: that global code calls code in individual functions or procedures.
