im getting the error msg that i created ......

errorMessage = errorMessage & "<p class=red><strong>You must enter details of your other language</strong></p>"

Show us the full page worth of code.

All of the low hanging fruit of easy guesses have been guessed. At this point we gotta roll up the sleeves and get dirty.

i hope that this lis not as it looks

 <input type="hidden" name="POSTED" value="true">

and all other dims here
Dim lang_error

If other_lang_chk = "Yes" AND other_lang = "" then
        lang_error = "true"                
        errorMessage = errorMessage & "<p class=red><strong> </strong></p>"
        else
        errorMessage = errorMessage & "<p class=red><strong>You must enter details of your other language</strong></p>"
        
        End If
