If it works for you, perhaps the problem lies on the ISP's side of things. I'm still sticking with using IIS 6, since there are so many odd reports of issues regarding classic ASP and IIS 7. -- Neil

Perhaps you have a parent-paths issue? Is your html form in a separate folder from the asp page? -- Microsoft MVP - ASP/ASP.NET - 2004-2007 Please reply to the newsgroup.

The _only_ thing that worked on the ISP is having the ASP code as part of the HTML form, and that makes no sense to me, either, since no other functions are dependent on that arrangement. I'm not even sure what the "object" was, other than the HTML form itself. At least I have a non-ActiveX, browser-independent set of replacement files running until this quirk can be sorted out, and it is encouraging to know that it works somewhere in the world under some configuration or other. ;-) Thanks again for your help. -- Best, Neil

Perhaps you have >> a parent-paths issue? Is your html form in a separate folder from the >> asp page? >> Bingo! Thanks to your encouragement, I went back and tried another approach to separating the HTML form from the ASP page, and managed to get it working. At this point, I'm not sure what I was doing wrong before to get the error. The good news is that I don't have to do much more than extract the code from the page and "genericize" it a bit.
