Hi CY,

you're mixing VB.NET and VBScript syntax there.

The new SDK (RhinoCommon) that is used in Grasshopper 0.7 and later should have a much better overlap with RhinoScript functions. What functions are you trying to run and why do you want to access RhinoScript from within a compiled project?

I just want to edit a rhino document without open it

How do you want to edit it? It's not very easy to change a 3dm file without using Rhino to access it. Certainly not in a VBScript.

I'm sorry I'm asking all these questions, but it seems you want to accomplish something very difficult or even impossible and I have no idea why. I'm hoping there's a better way to achieve what you need.

Hi, David

I have some similar problems as it mentioned, I would like to access rhinoscript with VBA. 

For example, I have a rhinoscript already, called "scale.rvb",which can scale a object in rhino.

At this moment, I can access rhino by VBA in excel, but how can I connect to "scale.rvb" or run it click a command button in userform? 

And is it possible to pass the variables or numbers in userform to rhinoscript?
