Hey there good buddy!

I have not used VBScript too much...

Please stay tuned, we'll get you caught up. Have searched our forum on this though, you could find answers already posted.

I'd also Google your error number, see what pos up:-)

hi
i could find no solution to this problam. so to solve this problam i took follwing steps.
1. first i reinstalled vb6. but problam still persists
2. then i uninstalled vb6 and reinstalled it but problam still persists

3. then i formatted c dirve (where windows resides)
4 then i installed vb6 again. this solved my problam

but this thread should be followed so that community could know the reason of this error so that nobody else could get stuck.
