It means that there is an error in your code on the first line, the 17th character in from the left.

VBScript as a language doesn't have datatypes.  Everything is a variant.  This mean that you don't use "As String" to define what type of variables you're using.

Code: [Select]
Dim strFirstName
Dim strLastName

  strFirstName  = "Zorb"
  strLastName = "Burger"
  MsgBox strLastName & ", " & strFirstName

I don't think SGDK allows you to use an input box.  To allow input is kind of complicated to script, Bluemonk has an example in the NET demo:

maybe he's talking about general VBScript coding?  Like something not related to SGDK?  I don't know... his first question really didn't fit into the 'SGDK' scripting environment... I could be wrong though.

What tutorials are you using?  The code syntax is just all wrong with that last piece of code, so you must be using some other kind of Basic.

Here's the correct VBScript code:

Code: [Select]
Dim strRad
Dim strPrompt
 
 strPrompt = "Enter Time or Date: "
 strRad = InputBox(strPrompt)
 if strRad = "Time" then MsgBox "The time is: " & Time
 if strRad = "Date" then MsgBox "The Date is: " & Date

The square root function in VBScript (and VB) is called SQR rather than ROOT.
