How do you customize Meridian?

The primary method for customizing Meridian to meet your requirements, besides vault configuration in the Configurator, is to use Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript). VBScript is a subset of the Visual Basic programming language that is built into Meridian and many other applications. VBScript provides programmatic access to many Meridian event procedures, functions, and objects such as vaults, folders, documents, properties, and so on, so that you can automate simple tasks. The Meridian objects that are accessible by VBScript are described in Meridian Object Model.

VBScript is used by Meridian in two ways:

Configuration expressions as described in Configuration Expressions
Meridian event handling procedures as described in Understanding Meridian event procedures

For general information about the VBScript language, see the VBScript Language Reference web site.

Note:

VBScript is not as complete a programming language as Visual Basic for Applications, which is built into Microsoft Office and other applications such as AutoCAD.
