VBScript, asynchronous or not?

[Qatester]

Can anyone tell me whether VBScript is asynchronous or not? The reason for asking is because I have a script that gathers the number of alerts logged in the Windows event logs and adds it to a db table. Although this has worked perfectly in the past I started noticing entries in the db of zero when I knew there were alerts logged. After investigating further, it turned out that the query to event log took over an hour to return the number of events due to the sheer number. So, could my zero entries be due to the script not waiting for the result from the event log?

Asyncronous in regards to what?

I have a script that queries Windows using the WMI tool. As part of the script it queries the Win32 database. Will the script execute the query and wait for the reply before moving on to the next line of code is the question I am asking.

Thanks

Yes. That is part of a query.
