VBScript » Functions » CreateObject
- Syntax:
- CreateObject(ServerName.TypeName, RemoteServerName)
- ServerName.TypeName
- ServerName is the name of the application that provides the object. TypeName is the type (class) of object to be created.
- RemoteServerName
- The optional RemoteServerName argument was added in verson 5.0
and is used to create an object on a remote server. It is the name of
the remote server. To use this argument, the internet security must be
turned off.
The CreateObject function is used to create an object of the
type specified in the argument.
The Set statement assigns the object reference to a variable or
property. The keyword Nothing is used to unassign the object
reference from the variable or property. Good programming techniques
require that you unassign all objects before you exit the program.

Set objWrd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
