Using a vArg from the comand line for strComputer

I have this as part of a overall script...

Sub ParseCommandLine()
Dim vArgs

set vArgs = WScript.Arguments

if vArgs.Count <> 2 then
DisplayUsage()
Else
host = vArgs(0)
EventID = vArgs(1)
End if
End Sub

I want to use the host variable in the strcomputer = "." line in my script
(obviously replacing the . with the variable name) I have tried "'&host&'",
&host& and every other combonation... What is the correct syntax to get the
command line variable host (or) vArgs(0) for the strcomputer = line?

Thanks

Show us the code where you want to assign "strcomputer".

Is "Dim host" outsaide of the Sub?

Always use "Option Explicit" to ensure variables are declared.

It was the lack of the DIM statement at the top - thanks for the help.
