Share.ExecMethod_ "Create", InParam

or

Call Share.ExecMethod_("Create", InParam)

Consult the VBScript documentation for the difference in calling syntax
between calling a Sub versus a Function. When calling a Sub (as opposed to a
Function), arguments are not enclosed in ()s unless you use the option Call
statement.
