Hi,
So let's see if I understand this: in the example that you posted ( Olav Kvern "Can't Find Place Images from Folder script" 3/3/03 11:21am </cgi-bin/webx?14@@.1de813df/1> ) in VBScript, you assigned the decimal values to idProportionally because they aren't otherwise available in VBScript, and if you had been using VB you could have just used the value already in idProportionally. Is that right?

COuld you as well have written:
myDocument.PageItems.Item(myCounter).Fit (1668247152) (although I see the advantages of using the variable/constant).
Sorry for all these questions, I like understanding how these things work....
If I'm only using scripts to speed up repetitive things for myself and not interested in making them useable by - say an employee - is there any advantage of VB vs. VBScript? Is there anywhere I can read up on the differences?
Thanks again.
Michael
