First, you probably want "auto-completion",
also sometimes known as "intellisense". That
means you can have popup menus for the methods
and properties of objects.
For debugging, if you need more than the basic error
info. there's the MS script debugger. That functionality
is also somehow linked into most script editors (if you
have the MS debugger installed).
Specialized for VBS, with at least auto-completion:

* VBSEdit - Good design and can apparently be used
for free if you don't mind nags.www.vbsedit.com
---------------------------------------------
* PrimalScriptwww.sapien.com
* Admin Script Editor -http://www.adminscripteditor.com/
These two are in the category of "astonishingly overpriced".
But they both seem to get good reviews. If your boss is
paying then they're probably worth looking at.
I once came across an online course at dowjones.com,
officially linked to Microsoft, where PrimalScript was
required for a 3-day course in VBScript! So it's not hard
to see how these inflated prices are feasible, given the
right marketing. As with MS Office, the price is absurd,
but most people are not paying for it themselves.
----------------------------------------
* WEB-ED Editor (Disclaimer: This is my own product) -
The only editor with color-coding for variables.www.jsware.net/jsware/webed.php5
---------------------------------------------
Aside from that, there are lots of free editors
that provide rudimentary color syntax highlighting
for keywords. Most of those can be adapted for
VBScript. And for many people that's good enough.
If you search for free editors you'll easily find a
list of the most popular ones.
There are also a number of not-free general
editors that have a good following. For instance,
UltraEdit seems to have been well regarded for
many years:http://www.ultraedit.com/
If you're going to pay for a general editor over
a free version, though, you'd obviously want to
make sure it's got plenty of usefulness that's worth
the cost.
Where can I find an editor to create/debug VBscript files?support
Can I use Visual Studio Express edition, available for free? Does it
VBscript?

PrimalScript colors variables and includes them in PrimalSense
listings for most languages.
Microsoft includes a classroom copy of PrimalScript with their
VBScript and PowerShell courses.
So it's not "required", but included for the purpose of the class.
There is a distinction between an IDE and an editor, so everyone
should check what
suits them most and what they need. Obviously, just like with
everything else,
features and "stuff" comes at a price :-)
Obviously I work for SAPIEN, so I am a bit biased ;-)
