Trying to use Dim statement

[MeSteve]

I am trying to make a Dim statement spcific in a VBS script by using:

Dim HouseCode As String

It appears to work in other scripts but I get an error. What am I missing.
Running script, script run or compile error in file: Days_Till_Reminder.txt1025:Expected end of statement in line 14 More info: Expected end of statement

MeSteve,
That dim statement looks OK. If you could post the first part of your vb script maybe we can spot something. Remember to count the blank lines too.

Edit. Thought I saw vb and not vbs

VB Script does not allow typing. Everything is a variant.

Dim HouseCode

I do not know the rules if you are trying to do something in .NET

Dang! Good catch Michael. I thought I saw .vb instead of VBS. Reading Steve's other post on vb.net put the mind in the wrong mode.

Makes sense, thanks for the knowledge tidbit. Changing the file to a .vb, I could then eliminate the variants? What are the other changes I would have to make?
