VBScript is actually somewhat similar to VB6 coding. The below one is the introduction of it in wikipedia:

VBScript (short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an Active Scripting language developed by Microsoft. The language's syntax reflects its history as a limited variation of Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language.

VBScript is installed by default in every desktop release of Microsoft Windows since Windows 98,[1] and may or may not be included with Windows CE depending on the configuration and purpose of the device it is running on. It initially gained support from Windows administrators seeking an automation tool more powerful than the batch language first developed in the late 1970s.

A VBScript script must be executed within a host environment, of which there are several provided on a standard install of Microsoft Windows (Windows Script Host, Internet Explorer). Additionally, The VBScript hosting environment is embeddable in other programs, through technologies such as the Microsoft Script control (msscript.ocx).

quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript

Check the above link for more info. Smile

In my words, vbscript can be used in html programming, such as ASP. Classic ASP webpages can be programmed using vbscript. You can create macros using vbscript for MS Word, etc.... These all are some of the uses.

But vbscript cannot be used to create standalone applications(EXE). But VB6 can be used to create them. vbscript can be used as a side programming(like in MS office applications).

I think this will help you Smile

If you have any more doubts, please feel free to ask Smile
