VBScript Support in ArcGIS

Description

In October 2023, Microsoft announced the deprecation of VBScript to be carried out in three phases until the functionality is completely retired and no longer included in Windows releases. Because ArcGIS applications rely on the feature being available in the operating system, VBScript is deprecated throughout ArcGIS to prepare users for its eventual removal.

Recommendation

VBScript expressions in ArcGIS will continue to work until VBScript is fully removed and no longer included in versions of Windows operating systems. Users must convert label, symbology, and calculation expressions to supported expression languages such as Arcade, Python and SQL.
