Easy Sting Variable Question

[Jables]

What is the correct syntax for defining a string variable on a page.

Here's what I'm doing

Dim varwriter
varwriter = "clay"

The server doesn't like this and it keeps giving me an error.

You don't define strings in ASP, they are variants. What you have is correct for putting a string into a variant assuming that you specified Language=VBScript.
This what I use

<%@ Language=VBScript EnableSessionState=False %>

<%
Option Explicit
response.buffer = true
response.expires = 0
%>
<%
dim strkey
dim strFirstName
dim strLastName
dim strproductCode
%>
