What specifically are you looking to integrate? Do you just want to dial out calls, or are you looking to have it save a history transcript of chats? If it is just outgoing calls, this can help you get started http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/skypecontrolapicsharp.aspx You will have to use a .net extension, but it should still be possible. I last used that code 2 years ago or so, but it should still work.

A quick and easy way would be to add the following to the script:

Sub SkypeCall(ByVal PhoneNumber)
Dim shell

    Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    shell.Run "callto:" & PhoneNumber, 1, false
    Set shell = Nothing
End Sub

Then you can create the phone numbers as hyperlinks or add buttons to pass the phone numbers to this sub like:

SkypeCall txtPhoneNumber.Text

BTW, I've not tested the code above, but it should work for a simple solution (although not as complete as the article that Jason links to).

Whoa.... Ryan ... now that is just too simple. That would work with anything that responds to callto:

There is an ActiveX COM Object on the Skype website which I have used successful within SalesLogix a few years ago:
