Why? - Invalid procedure call or argument: 'GetObject'

sw1llam3 · Aug 29, 2002

Hello,

I do not know VBscript really at all however trying to get some code working in order to allow my users to change passwords from a web page.

This is the error I am getting...

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'GetObject'

I think the runtime error code meanss access denied, but I am not sure.

But, I definitely don't know why a GetObject call would be conidered invalid.

Any help with this woould be greatly appreciated!

Hi there...
Can you post your code that generates this error ?
(runtime error dosn't mean access denied)

Hi there ...
sorry but because I've not used LDAP before, I can't do anything for you.
