That's a bit nonspecific for a short answer. What exactly are you trying to
accomplish?

Sorry about the hassle. I'm using vbscript, and I want to use the Collection
object found in VB.

I was searching a little and found 2 options:

1. Scripting.Dictionary
2. Session.Contents

Which one would you guys suggest??

Thanks,
Ivan

Dictionary object is the most suitable replacement for a collection object,
which you probably read is not supported in vbscript. Sometimes an array is
more appropriate though, depending on the functionality that you need.

I thought a dictionary object was similar to a PERL associative array and it
is supported in vbscript. Did I misread your response?

Maybe I didn't word it real well. What I meant is, yes, a
Scripting.Dictionary is supported, but not a "set x = New Collection" as in
VB.
