======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions,
   32-bit only, for Windows, version 4.0
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 5.0
 - Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications version 5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Script code runs when you load code into the script control using the
AddCode method.

CAUSE
=====

The script contains statements outside of a procedure definition.

RESOLUTION
==========

Remove any statements outside of procedure definitions.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

With Active Scripting, unlike Visual Basic and most other languages,
statements are allowed outside procedure definitions. This is to allow the
script to automatically initialize itself at load time.

programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and
debug procedures.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. In Visual Basic, create a new project (Form1 is created by default).

2. Click Components on the Project menu, and then select the "Microsoft
   Script Control 1.0" check box.

3. Add the Script control (ScriptControl1), a text box (Text1), and a
   command button (Command1) to a form. Set the MultiLine property of the
   text box to TRUE. For ease of use, change the size of Text1 so that it
   accommodates 5 lines of 60 characters.

4. Add the following code to Form1:

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
        On Error Resume Next
        With ScriptControl1
          .Language = "VBScript"
          .AllowUI = True
          .AddCode Text1.Text
        End With
      End Sub

5. Run Form1 and open the Debug window.

6. Type the following script in the text box:

      Sub Test()
        MsgBox "Hello World"
      End Sub
      Test

7. Click the command button. The message box appears.

8. Remove the line "Test" from the script and run Form1 again. The Test
   code is not executed upon loading the code.
