Visual Basic Script

Use the Visual Basic Script when you want to use (VBScript) to produce the final value for the object by processing data from one data source or a combination of the other data sources in a way that is not otherwise possible.

VBScript can be complex for those who are unfamiliar with it. It is often easier to select one of the other data source types and then use the VBScript transform instead. For more information, refer to Using the VBScript Transform.

You can configure the properties of this data source by using the Data Sources property page of the Object Properties dialog. You can identify a Visual Basic Script data source in the navigation pane of the Object Properties dialog by the icon. For more information about the properties that you can specify for the data source, refer to Data Sources Property Page.

You can also replace an existing data source with a Visual Basic Script data source or add a Visual Basic Script data source to an object's already existing data sources. For more information about how to do this, refer to Configuring Data Sources.
