Juan, also, a third option if you own a copy of MS Word, is to use it's built-in VBA editor which does have an object browser, code completion (which they call intelli-sense), built-in context sensitive help for VB (it's largely the same whether you are using VBA or VBScript), and a code syntax checker which checks each line as you enter it, and then will check the entire program for mis-matched If/End If's (and other such block commands). It also allows you to define all of your functions, parameters, and variables with object types, which then causes intelli-sense to work for them, and causes the syntax checker to flag as an error if you, say, call a function expecting a window object as it's parameter, and you specify a variable of some other object type instead. you'll need to download a copy of an app I wrote named "MS Office" in order to use their VBA editor for VBScript (it handles the importing and exporting to/from VBScript, the speaking of intelli-sense, etc.). There's an audio tutorial session for using the MS Office app as a VBScript editor at http://acorange.home.comcast.net/scripting (thanks to Steve Clower for recording it for us). I'm about to release a new version, and I'll redo the tutorial so it's shorter and covers the new features in the new version. Just an FYI, the built-in VBA development in Word is nothing at all like Word itself, and you do not use the Word document editor at all; it's as if MS banged together two distinct products into a single executable; so, you do not need to know anything about MS Word in order to use this as your VBScript editor. This has been a concern of some when I recommend this method to them. In my opinion though (and I did try VBSedit), it's really a far superior method for creating VBScript apps. Chip

I've been using ultra edit, but I wanted to know if there is something better, that has code completion, etc. Thanks for any input. Juan
