Error: "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" - vb.net

Question

I am building a small app that is pulling script from within an object. I'm down to the portion where my code is pulling back the field from the object that has the script and I'm getting this error.
"reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference"
I'm not sure what to change or how to get around this. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?
Here is the code that i have so far. It's a simple app that has a combobox that you choose the company from and on button click it will get the script and show it in the textbox.
Here is my code:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Public M3System As MILLSYSTEMLib.System
Public M3Script As MILLCOMPANYLib.CScripting
Public Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'On Error Resume Next
Try
Dim Approved As Integer
' Create a Millennium system obects
M3System = CreateObject("MillSystem.System")
M3System.Load("Millennium")
'run login script
Dim User As Object = M3System.Login()
' See if login worked
If User Is Nothing Then
'MsgBox("Login failed!")
Approved = 0
Else
'MsgBox("Login successful")
'if approved=1 then the user is able to access M3
Approved = 1
End If
'populate combo box
For Each Company In M3System.Companies
cb_COID.Items.Add(Company.Field("co").ToString)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
Me.Close()
End Try
End Sub
Public Sub btn_LoadScript_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btn_LoadScript.Click
Dim CoCode As String = cb_COID.SelectedItem
Dim script As String = M3Script.vbscript
If IsNothing(cb_COID) Then
MessageBox.Show("Select a Company Code")
End If
For Each CoCode In M3Script.co
tb_Script.Text = script
Next
End Sub

I'm guessing that the line you are failing on is Dim script As String = M3Script.vbscript
If that is the case, it's because you are declaring the M3Script, but you are not creating an instance of it.
Try setting the object somewhere by adding M3Script = new MILLCOMPANYLib.CScripting to your code, or however you would load it (perhaps M3Script = CreateObject("MillSystem.Script")?)
