The fundamental problem you're running into is that ActiveScripting was
primarily designed to allow scripts to access functions and variables in the
host, not the other way around.  That's how the two generally available
script hosts, IE and IIS, use ActiveScripting.  You might consider if your
design could be reworked to work this way.
