Not directly. You have to "proxy" your API calls by creating a COM object
to do the API calling for you.

Hi,

No. You can code an ActiveX control that wraps API calls in a method that
can be called from VBScript, but the control must be registered on the
computer.

Not natively, though you may be interested in this...
