Thanks for answering so quickly. That is too easy. I had thought about that, but wasn't sure if that was bad practice to use an error to check if something exists. Guess it is the vbscript way.<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an application that allows for vbscript and jscript macros. The application has new methods added in newer versions that give better functionality, but I want to maintain backward compatibility. Is there a way to check if an object has a specific property or method?<br />
<br />
If I try and use a property that doesn't exist I get error:<br />
&quot;Object doesn't support this property or method: 'object.method'&quot;<br />
<br />

Find whether a method exists for an object

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
