Couple of questions about VBScripting... first, I have a script that performs a server hardware inventory; currently I have an input box prompt for the user to provide servername and the script runs fine. But when I go to compile it, I get errors "declaration expected." How can I build the prompt for the servername variable into the compiled script? -Second: how to create a single script that calls three or four other scripts? I'm pretty much a newbie to VBScripting and I'm learning on the fly so please forgive anything I've called by the wrong name, etc. I will be glad to post snips of my scripts if that helps. Most of them came straight from the Microsoft scripting center! :) Thanks!

You need to declare every variable you want to use. You really should ask this question on a different site - this site is not very good for interaction. For example, you can post all your code, but if I don't check back, I'll never know that you did. Couple of sites I use include www.experts-exchange.com and www.tek-tips.com - these sites notify anyone participating in the question with an email whenever someone posts, so your problem can actually be solved in a timely manner.
I have a friend who has been showing classic signs of abusing prescription narcotics. Her and I used to be very close, we lost touch for a while and about a year and a half ago I was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left me with ruptured/torn discs. I am currently being prescribed oxycodone 15 mg and only take them when needed. When my friend found out that I was prescribed those she began to only come around to ask me for pills. I of course didn't give her any because I am being treated through a pain center, and you can get called in for random pills counts and if you are short you can get released from the program. I informed her of this but she stayed persistent, trying to give me $30 for just one and begging and pleading for me to give her some. She would get agitated and stop talking to me for a little while when I stayed stern on not giving her anything. She swears she has all of these different problems but all of her tests that her PCP has done has been negative and even he stopped giving her pain pills since he doesn't feel that she is in enough pain to warrant taking them. He put her on anti inflammatory pills and muscle relaxers. She will not take those, she will go up to the local hospital and be seen in the ER just to get a script of pain pills. She recently went to her OB/GYN and said that she was still having pain from her episiotomy and her OB/GYN of course prescribed her another month worth of pills. When you confront her about her so called pain she becomes defensive and will not speak about it. She just down right refuses to listen to anything you have to say. She swears her doctor is wrong and that there is something that is wrong with her but she has been seen by one of the better doctors in this area so I trust his opinion. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, I want to help her as a friend but since she won't listen to me and swears she doesn't have a problem and is in legit pain she brushes me off. I know her and her mother are super close and I have been thinking about going to her mother to tell her that her daughter needs help. This girl is in her second marriage with two kids, and one step kid and used to have so much going for her and has now starting to lose everything because she spends her time looking for pills. I saved all the text messages on my phone where she begs me to sell her one of my pills and where I told her that I wouldn't do it and then she gets mad about it. Should I tell her mother about this and show her the proof and let her mother intervene and get her some help? Or would you just let her learn the hard way?

She also has an addiction problem. It is not your responsibility to provided her with any kind of prescription meds. She is not your friend when she continues to ask you to do something illegal such as provide her with narcotics. The fact that she begs you for the pills indicates an addiction. The fact that she goes from provider to provider for pills indicate addiction. You must be true to yourself, and you should not be "shamed" into playing her game. You are not stuck, you must be assertive and say no. It may be difficult, but you cannot be an accessory to an illegal activity. Her behavior is that of an addict. You may want to tell her that directly. If she decides not to be your friend so be it. Friends do not put friends in harms way.
