Is there any way to open One Note 2007 application using VB script? I I tried this VB script

dim oneNote,pageStyle,importedPageID,unfiledPath,unfiledID

set oNote = CreateObject("OneNote.Application")

oNote.GetSpecialLocation 1,unfiledPath

oNote.OpenHierarchy unfiledPath, "", unfiledID, 0

oNote.CreateNewPage unfiledID,importedPageID, 0

Dim xml2importBase 'As String

xml2importBase = "<?xml version=""1.0""?><one:Section xmlns:one=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/onenote/2007/onenote"" ID="""

xml2importBase = xml2importBase + unfiledID + """>"

xml2importBase = xml2importBase + "<one:Page ID=""" + importedPageID + """>"

xml2importBase = xml2importBase + "<one:Title><one:OE><one:T><![CDATA[Title Comes here-2]]></one:T></one:OE></one:Title>"

Dim tailXml

tailXml = "</one:Page></one:Section>"

Dim xml2import

xml2import = xml2importBase + tailXml

oNote.UpdateHierarchy xml2import

oNote.NavigateTo importedPageID, "", False

I know we cant send out parameter in the VB script.

So IS there any way to overcome this problem and make this script run?

Pff... I DID write my own IDispatch and IDispatchEx implementation, so that we can use class constructors, default parameter values, case sensitive name resolution etc. It was fun ;)

By reading this article i think because of this only i am getting a Type mismatch error for Server.CreateObject method. as i am passing class name like : Cstr(strComponentName) & ".clsMain". But CreateObject is a method of Server object. is it the same case with this object also? Also it works for some time but some time it gives Type mismatch error only when there is less RAM available.

I recall there was a motivation for writing your own IDispatch implementation: a lock contention problem with the OLEAUT-provided IDispatch. This affected scalability of Automation components used in server-based applications. I don't know if this problem was ever addressed. If it wasn't, then an article describing the Joy of IDispatch would be useful. (Although I hope I never have to write another IDispatch again in my life.) An MSDN article circa 2000 mentions the OLEAUT scalability issue: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnduwcol/html/sampleapp04202000.asp

This the best description of the interaction between script clients and COM objects I've ever seen. Would have been nice if this stuff was documented in MSDN 5 years ago :)
