adovbs.inc won't work

[saroy71]

I am trying to use adovbs.inc but it isn't working.
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE=&quot;adovbs.inc&quot; -->
This is how I am calling the file and it is in my root directory, etc. It can find the file but it gives me an error:
Error Type:
Microsoft JScript compilation (0x800A03F7)
Unterminated string constant
/mustangs/adovbs.asp, line 2, column 69
'--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------^

It appears it isn't reading those lines as comments. However, when I remove those lines from the file I get an error:

Error Type:
Microsoft JScript compilation (0x800A03EC)
Expected ';'
/mustangs/adovbs.asp, line 3, column 6
Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0
-----^

I cannot figure out why this is happening. It seems like it isn't reading the adovbs.inc file correctly. I even tried to change it to adovbs.asp but that did not help.

I hope you can. Thanks in advance.

ADOVBS.INC is a file that you can include in a script that is written in VBScript. Your ASP processor is trying to compile JScript. Usually it does that because your script used the language directive <% @ language=&quot;JScript&quot; %>. At any rate renaming the file to ADOVBS.INC will not help.

Usually you only need a dozen or so of the 200+ constants so you can create your own file in JScript and call it whatever you like.

Take a look at ADOVBS.INC in your text editor.

Thanks rac2,

Works great! Education is what you get from reading the small print.
