title: VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required:
body: <p>I'm completely new to VB and have run into what I imagine must be a common error for noobs.
  I'm trying to split a string into an array with this snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim myString, myArray
  myString = "split-this"
  myArray = myString.Split("-")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
  Object required: 'split-this'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could someone kindly tell me what I'm missing?</p>
