The code completion window displays for me for VB script by pressing <ctrl><space>. If and While are available in the window. Regarding MsgBox, use aqDlg.MessageDlg method (https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/68841/?q=messagedlg#_ga=1.16863417.1015556109.1449503065) to display message boxes. Remember that VB Script is similar to but different from and not as powerful as VB.net. Like you, I am not a developer and know a little VB.net, but I have been able to learn enough VB Script over the past couple of years to get by with what I need to accomplish. A good reference is located at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t0aew7h6.aspx. Good luck.

Thanks dmiscannon for the response, encouragement and the link.

 

Just to be clear, if you were to type the following:

sub testLeft

dim leftString

   leftstring = left("Hello World",4)

   I = mkset(mbOK)

   I = builtin.MessageDlg(leftstring,mtinformation,1,0)

end sub

Does the Code Complete window display and show you the arguments for 'left' when you type "left("  (note: without the quotation marks)?

    Have realised, that while the Code Complete window doesn't display automatically (as I believe it should) for e.g. 'Left' function, it does display, as dmiscannon suggested, when I press <ctrl> + <space>.

    Thanks again.
