OK, good. Although the original post asked how to convert from Lua to VBscript to resolve problems with MSSQL.

Personally I prefer Lua, and if you have problems with the ODBC SQL I would try to resolve those.

Also, if this is a single-user database, you might consider using SQLite3, which is built into MUSHclient, so you don't need to have external database engines around.

It's more of a proof of concept project, I am familiar with VBA which is pretty much vbscript, granted, it's not my language of choice, but oh well. the ODBC connection to MSSQL is to see just how far I can take things for storage, automation, and integration [to web services]

Also going to see about connecting a local ASP page to an external MySQL database to see if I can go from my client->local database->local website->external website->external database [just to see what I can integrate with]

One of the next few thing's I'm going to be doing, is taking an ASP page and making a GUI representation of certain things, such as fights, spells cast on me [durations left], maps of areas, etc. that can be up next to your mud window to see graphically what normally you have to do score/inventory/map etc.

Just poking the boundaries to see when things break, then when they break, see if there is a way to fix it or work around it to do what I want.

Would be much harder to do this with LUA script [for me, anyway] - because in addition to not knowing the language very well, it doesn't integrate as cleanly as vbscript does into a large slew of different projects.
