Programming Tips & Gotchas

The End statement used by itself to terminate the program is not supported within a VBScript script or procedure. Instead you should terminate execution of a procedure prematurely using the Exit... statement. You can also terminate the script or application by calling a method belonging to an object of the object model you are using. These are shown in the following table:

Environment	Method
ASP	Response.End or Session.Abandon
IE	Application.Quit
Outlook form	Item.Close
Windows Script Host	WScript.Quit

VBA/VBScript Differences

VBA supports the End statement, which immediately terminates execution of code and, in the case of Visual Basic, terminates the application. The End statement, however, is not supported in VBScript.
