Peter,

VBScript is not the intended client. It just happens that a legacy
application uses VB scripts to get things done in an area where rules
change
almost everyday. VB scripts allows them to change that part of the
application to be very dynamic.

The application that uses these VB scripts are written in C++ (unmanaged).

VB scripts do not understand exceptions but the err object mostly gets all
exception information, I guess, through the GetLastError API. .NET runtime
sets the last error when exception occurs upon calls from a COM object.

Thanks.

Does VBScript understand exceptions? I didn't think it did. Why are you
using VBScript?

However, since I'd rather have my hand cut off than "program" in
VBScript, I
could very well be totally incorrect about what VBScript can and can't
do.

I have a remoting object hosted in a Windows Service. One of the clients
is
a
VBScript that invokes a proxy CCW dll. The script gets all
ApplicationException details but no system exception
(Exception,SqlException
etc) details.

An example error message displayed has:

Error: System error.
Code: 80131904
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider.

On the server I can see the correct information. A .net client gets the
correct information as well.

If I wrap the exception in an Application Exception by
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new ApplicationException(ex.Message, ex);
}
VBScript gets the error message correctly.

How can I get the correct exception details in a VBScript?
