## Overview

This document introduces a new way to add scripting and OLE Automation capabilities to programs such as applications or servers. With the advent of Microsoft® ActiveX™ Scripting, hosts can call upon disparate scripting engines from multiple sources and vendors to perform scripting between components. The implementation of the script itself—language, syntax, persistent format, execution model, and so on—is left to the script vendor. Care has been taken to allow hosts that rely on ActiveX Scripting to use arbitrary language "back ends."
