First, when your script fails, the Windows Scripting Host will tell you the line number, column number, and a description of the error. The error it reports gives you a good starting point, but trying to count down to line 132, column 43 to find it in your code is unworkable. Because... The default script editor (if you right-click a VBS file and select "Edit") is Notepad. And Notepad has no line or column counters. So you can buy a nice script editor like I did. Or use a fancy word processor or the old DOS program EDIT.COM.
