I have been going mad trying to figure out why my scripts weren't working, until I started copying and pasting sample source code directly from a few websites only to have it fail there as well. I am getting the following error in my VBScripts:

C:\temp\vbs\script.vbs(19, 53) Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected statement'

For a line of code that looks like this:

    wdoc.Application.Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

This is interfacing with Microsft Word in Office 2007 to conduct a search and replace. Index 53 point directly to the := part of the assignment. Since this type of syntax doesn't work on my machine and I am using it from several websites, I was wondering if the cscript.exe I use is out of date.

Am I not calling cscript properly?
