What kind of database? There is a tutorial explaining how to do so using Access/ADO/ODBC here:
http://www.mjtnet.com/index.htm?vbsdb.html

This example uses Access but will work with any other ODBC data source.

Can't for the life of me imagine why you'd get that error, unless you have removed the VBSTART/VBEND lines at some point causing Macro Scheduler to try to interpret the VBScript as native code.

I can see only one error in your script. Remove "as string" from the Dim SQLString line.

Also since the function takes no parameters remove the parentheses from the function declaration.

LOL. Goodness knows what you've done. I have just replied to your support email. The following script has been verified, tested and works:

VBSTART

Function GetCustomerName

Dim SQLString
dim rsCustomers
dim MyDB

set MyDB = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

MyDB.Open "DSNCUS"

set rsCustomers = CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")

SQLString = "select CustomerName from Customers"

set rsCustomers = MyDB.Execute(SQLString)

If Not rsCustomers.EOF then
GetCustomerName = rsCustomers.Fields("CustomerName")
Else
GetCustomerName = "Not Found"
End if

MyDB.Close

End Function
VBEND

VBEval>GetCustomerName(),CustomerName
MessageModal>The Customer Name Is : %CRLF% %CRLF% %CustomerName%
