Can I include a VBScript within my VB code? If so, how?

You can add the VBScriptControl as a Component or as a Reference to your program: Go to the Projects menu and select e.g. References, then add MS Script Control.

When done you can declare and set a variable as your scriptcontrol:

Dim objSC as ScriptControl
Set objSC = New ScriptControl

From here on, you're an your own to perform whatever scripting function you like.

-----
The MS documentation on this control is rather trivial. For a more comprehensive source, I recommend you:

VBScript Programmer's Reference
Susanne Clarck, Antonio de Donatis, et. al.
WROX Press Inc.
ISBN: 1-861-00271-8
 
If you want to write the script in your program, set a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime and then you can do things like:

Dim fso as FileSystemObject
