Thanks all!

@Joe – the IE Developer toolbar doesn’t offer any debugging :(

Erki – I’ve read a few things and assumed the Script editor and the download were the same – I’ll dig up an Office CD tomorrow and check that out.

@Rostislav – I did find a tutorial on how to hook up the free Visual Studio version which I may try tomorrow.
