Declaring a two dimensional array for storing 51 states and their capitals could be done as follows: Dim StateInfo(50,1) To store values into this array you would then reference both dimensions. StateInfo(18,0) = "Michigan" StateInfo(18,1) = "Lansing" VBScript also provides support for arrays whose size may need to change as the script is executing. These arrays are referred to as dynamic arrays. A dynamic array is declared without specifying the number of elements it will contain: Dim Customers() The ReDim statement is then used to change the size of the array from within the script: ReDim Customers(100) There is no limit to the number of times an array can be re-dimensioned during the execution of a script. To preserve the contents of an array when you are re-dimensioning, use the Preserve keyword: ReDim Preserve Customers(100) If AmountPurchased > 10000 Then DiscountAmount = AmountPurchased * .10 Subtotal = AmountPurchased - DiscountAmount Else If AmountPurchased > 5000 Then DiscountAmount = AmountPurchased * .05 Subtotal = AmountPurchased - DiscountAmount Else HandlingFee = AmountPurchased *.03 Subtotal = AmountPurchased + HandlingFee End If Select Case Document.frmOrder.txtState.Value Case "California" ShippingFee= .04 Case "Florida" ShippingFee = .03 Case Else ShippingFee = .02 End Select ' This script runs a command and kills the process after 5 seconds if it is still running Option Explicit Dim objWScript, objExec Dim intCount 'Create the WScript shell object Set objWScript = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Create a constant with the command to execute Const strLaunchCmd = "notepad" 'Run the command Set objExec = objWScript.Exec(strLaunchCmd) 'Set the timeout counter to zero intCount = 0 'Loop for 5 seconds or until objExec status = 0 (success) Do While intCount < 500 'Exit the loop if the status is not zero If objExec.Status <> 0 Then Exit Do End If intCount = intCount + 1 WScript.Sleep 10 Loop 'Terminate the process if it is still running (status = 0) If objExec.Status = 0 Then WScript.Echo vbCrLf & "Terminating Process!" & vbCrLf objExec.Terminate End If ' Requires Microsoft Word 97 or higher installed ' Comments to alexangelopoulos@hotmail.com ' save as wordcheck.vbs ' files can also be dropped onto the script to spellcheck them.
