Dear All,
I've got a Constant defined as a base URL, and am trying to use that in conjunction with some filenames to create other constants as follows :
For some reason I get an error on the second line, even though I am using a Constant and not a Variable to create the second Constant. Has anyone got a workaround to this, apart from using Variables for NewImg ?
This is one of the things that bugs me about VBScript. Basically I don't think that there is a workaround other than using variables. Of course if anyone knows of one I am very keen to hear about it.
The way I read it is that VBScript demands that constants are not made up of other constants. In other words the compiler is too lazy to check if the word you included as part of the constant is actually a constant rather than a variable or function.
This really bugs me, particularly when you compare it to the kind of stuff you can do in C and C++ with #define.
