Need to call API functions

[Nikki]

Hi,

I need to call functions from another program.
In VB I would do this:

Private Declare Function ConnectVB _
Lib "_krnl.dll" () As Long
Private Declare Function DisconnectVB _
Lib "_krnl.dll" () As Long
Private Declare Function ConnectedTriggerVB _
Lib "_krnl.dll" (ByVal TRXName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function UnconnectedTriggerVB _
Lib "_krnl.dll" (ByVal N As String) As Long

and then I could call these functions. Can I do anything similar
in VBSript? Or would I have to make a component to do this?

Nikki,

You will need a component since VBScript does not have direct access to the
system. The best thing is to "wrap" these calls in a VB component, just the
way you have done it in your example.
