George,
Once again you got me a little farther and I marked you for another helpful post. Interesting that you told me to move the script language.....rs.htm above everything, because this book(wrox) on vbscript had it below.
Anyway I was trying to execute the function through a button but it fails right back to the original place of set aspobj = rsgetaspobject("area.asp"

. Same error on object
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript" src="../_scriptlibrary/rs.htm">

<script language="vbscript">
Function invokeHrw()
Dim retobj
Dim aspobj
error--->Set aspobj = RSGetASPObject("area.asp"

set retobj = aspobj.HRW()
msgbox retobj.return_value
end function
</script>
