I'm using the following code to open a new popup window in IE using Vbscript:

dim NewWindow
NewWindow = window.open ("invoice_popup.asp", "Inactive Numbers", "height=270, width=215, toolbar=no, menubar=no")

I've followed examples but keep getting:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'

Object required: 'window'

/telecom/invoice.asp, line 36

Any ideas?

Your problem is with 'Inactive Numbers'

What should follow the "URL" is:

_blank
_media
_parent
_self.
_search
_self
_top

Ex: -----------------------------------------------------

window.open ("invoice_popup.asp", "_Blank", "height=270, width=215, toolbar=no, menubar=no")

----------------------------------------------------------

syntax:

oNewWindow = window.open( [sURL] [, sName] [, sFeatures] [, bReplace])
"did you just say Minkey?, yes that's what I said."

I've tried that:

dim NewWindow
set NewWindow = Window.open("invoice_popup.asp", "_self", "Inactive Numbers", "height=270, width=215, toolbar=no, menubar=no")

and I still get the same error: "Object Required: 'Window'"

Any ideas?

Ok, it's nuts, but did you try "window.open" in place of "Window.open" ? Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)

Another nuts question : between what tags did you put the code you give us : &quot;<%..%>&quot; or &quot;<Script></Script>&quot; because if it's between &quot;<%..%>&quot; tags, it's normal because the window object is a client side object. Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)

It above all the HTML head etc, at the top of my ASP file:

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>

<% window code here! ...

%>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
...
</HTML>

That's what i meant : the window object is only CLIENT SIDE so you CAN'T use it between &quot;<%&quot; and &quot;%>&quot; tags but only between &quot;<SCRIPT>&quot; and &quot;</SCRIPT>&quot; tags. In other way, your server can't open a window on the client. Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)

what Targol means is the you use this code as follows
Code: 
<%
'asp code here
%>
<script language=vbscript>
dim NewWindow
NewWindow = window.open (&quot;invoice_popup.asp&quot;, &quot;Inactive Numbers&quot;, &quot;height=270, width=215, toolbar=no, menubar=no&quot;)
</script>
<!-- html code here -->
