Script Editor - Script Outline window not available

Guest

I have Access 2000 on Windows Server 2003 and have the Web
Scripting Office tool installed, however, when I go to the
Microsoft Script Editor, I don't have the Script Outline
window available....only the Object Browser window.

The VB Editor for Microsoft Access 2K does not have an outline window.
"Full Module View" and "Procedure View" are the only views available for
viewing and working on your VBA code. If you don't see any module windows
open when you open the VB Editor, then right-click on a module name or form
name listed in the tree view of the Project window to display the pop-up
menu, then select "View Code" to view that module's code. If your Project
window has been removed from your screen, then press <CTRL><R> or select
View menu -> Project Explorer to open the Project window, which will display
the names of the forms and modules in the VBA Project.

HTH.

Thanks.....maybe I should be more specific. I am trying
to add a script to a data access page and I know it
doesn't use VBA. When in design mode from a dap, I right-
click on Microsoft Script Editor and then try to click on
Windows, more Windows and microsoft.com tells me I should
see a Script Outline Window option????

You don't see the code window because you closed it previously, so those
commands you were given are useless. (I know. You found the instructions
in "Help"!) To get that window back, in the Project Explorer window of the
Windows Script Editor, there's a tree view listing the object names of your
project. Select the DAP name with your mouse, then select the "View Code"
icon above the tree view, just below the title bar of the Project Explorer
window. Your DAP script will appear in the center frame (or wherever you
docked it if you changed the default.)

First of all, thanks so much for your help.

Look at this URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-
us/odeopg/html/deovrworkingwithmicrosoftscripteditor.asp

It shows the Script Outline window I'm talking about. I
actually see my HTML script, but no OUTLINE window where I
can assign functions and routines to events based on
objects on my DAP.

Oh. You don't see that window either, because you previously closed the
Document Outline window, too. To get that window back, make sure that the
DAP you want is selected in the Project Explorer window of the Windows
Script Editor, then press <CTRL><ALT><T> to open the Document Outline
window. Select the "Script Outline" icon just below the Document Outline
window title bar.

So, I learned something new today, too. Thanks!

So, I've tried that and no luck. I have FrontPage 2003
and Office 2000 installed on the same machine with my
problem. It's like the Script Editor is not fully
functional in Access 2000. When I launch the Script
Editor in FP, I get all the windows I want....but I want
them in Access. Ugh!

The Windows Script Editor is _not_ a component of Microsoft Office, so it's
not integrated into Access like the VB Editor is. Access 2K was the first
version that offered Data Access Pages, so it's entirely possible that the
object model that the Windows Script Editor is reading in order to display
the information in the Document Outline window was not as fully developed in
Access 2K as it is with later versions of Microsoft applications, such as
FrontPage 2003.

I have Access 2003 and Windows Script Editor 10.0 loaded on my computer, and
I can see the Document Outline window with the items that you describe. I
_think_ that Access XP DAP's have enough of the object model available for
the Windows Script Editor to read these items, too, but someone else will
need to confirm this for you.

Perhaps you should post a question in a News Group dedicated to the Windows
Script Editor about reading an Access 2K (or XP) DAP object, since the
Microsoft.Public.Access News Group is dedicated to issues concerning
Microsoft Access databases, not software applications that manipulate
objects created by Access.
