ASP VBSCRIPT Function fails if in dynamic include

[jjob]

I am dynamically including a VBScript function along with an XML reader class into ASP. I use the Filesystem object and Execute string method to produce the dynamic inclusion. I do a similar thing in a vbs script, except I don't have to dynamically load the function. In the vbs script that XML reader object is loaded and works

In the ASP, the XML reader class seems to be
loaded OK, but attempting to use the function causes a Type Mismatch error. I'm assuming the problem is that the normal ASP thinks the include function is an array and the call

TagContents = getTagContents("XML_Tag")

thus generates Type Mismatch, has anyone come across this before, and/or do they have a fix for this?

Thanks in anticipation

John

Sort of.
It's because the function does not exist as a UDF. Function names are evaluted on the first pass and as the Execute method cannot create UDF references ...
