A script is created that, when executed, will cause a message box to display the name of a point. The point is named 'Tank Level' and it is stored in a Group named 'Tanks'.

The script is as follows:

Where:

• objLevelPoint is the name of the variable that stores the ServerObject that is returned by the FindObject function.
• Server.FindObject("Tanks.Tank Level") instructs the script to search for a database item named 'Tank Level' in a Group named 'Tanks'.
• If Not objLevelPoint Is Nothing Then tells the script what to do if the objLevelPoint variable has a value. The If Not objLevelPoint Is Nothing means that if the objLevelPoint is not nothing (that is, the objLevelPoint has a value) then proceed with the following action.
• PointName = objLevelPoint.Name instructs the script to set the PointName variable to have the same value as the Name property of the objLevelPoint variable. Remember that the PointName is only set to be the same as the objLevelPoint.Name property if the GroupName has a value.
• MsgBox PointName instructs the script to display a message box containing the value that is stored by the PointName variable (the value is the same as the Name property of the objLevelPoint variable).
• Else MsgBox "Point not found" tells the script what to do if the objLevelPoint variable does not have a value (i.e. If objLevelPoint Is Nothing). In this case, the script will display a message box containing the message "Point not found".
