Reporting what calls a Contact form script

[Chris Kinata]

Hi all,

I had never played with form scripting before, but
edited a custom contact form the other day, clicked
the View Code button on the Form Design toolbar,
and entered the code

msgbox "Hello, world!"

No Sub..End Sub, just that statement.
The interesting thing is that the msgbox appears
at odd moments, even when I'm not in my Contacts
folder, addressing an email, etc.

Wondering what's executing the script...what code
could I use to report the event that triggered the
script and/or what's calling it?

Regards,
Chris

The VBScript engine is executing the script, but because you aren't using any event handler, it's pretty hard to know what's going to happen. Aside from module-level declarations, all your code needs to go into event handlers. Start with the ones on the Script | Event Handler dialog.
