Expected statement
The string you passed as an argument to the Execute statement cannot
be parsed as a statement. The Execute statement can be used to
dynamically execute VBScript code. For example, consider the following VBScript
code. Execute "msgbox 1" 'This works because msgbox is a statement.
Execute "5*4" 'This fails because 5*4 cannot be interpreted as a statement.
The Expected statement error is also generated during the compilation
of any script code that expects a statement, not just by Execute and
Eval. For example, the following code causes this error in Internet
Explorer, <html>
<script language=vbscript>
5*4
</script>
</html>
Notice that there are two distinct and unrelated Execute statements in
VBScript,
- the Execute statement that compiles and executes statements on the
fly,
- the Regular Expression Execute method.
To correct this error
- Confirm that the string being passed to Execute is a statement.
- If the string you want to evaluate is an expression, use Eval.
