I know I must be doing (or not doing) something really stupid but my response.redirect is not working in asp page within vbscript.

I am purposefully creating an error and do not get redirected to errorpage. (bolded line)

I have code as follows:
<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
dim excelapptmp

on error resume next

Set excelAppTmp = createobject(&quot;excel.Application&quot;)

if err.number then response.redirect (&quot;ErrorDisplay.asp?ErrorString=ActiveX&quot;)
</script>

Please help!

Actually here is the ENTIRE Pages code from Top 2 bot.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = true%>
<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
Dim excelApp
Dim worksheet
Dim sheet
dim queryTables
dim queryTable
dim cellrange
dim dataURL
dim excelAppTmp
dim WshShell

on error resume next

'set WshShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot;)
'WshShell.AppActivate(&quot;Microsoft Excel&quot;)
'Set WshShell = Nothing

Set excelAppTmp = createobject(&quot;excel.Application&quot;)

if err.number then response.redirect(&quot;ErrorDisplay.asp?ErrorString=ActiveX&quot;)

on Error Goto 0

Set excelApp = createobject(&quot;excel.Application&quot;)
excelApp.Visible = True
Set worksheet = excelApp.Workbooks.Add
worksheet.activate
Set sheet = worksheet.Sheets(1)
sheet.Activate
set queryTables = sheet.querytables
'set queryTable = queryTables.Add(&quot;URL; sheet.Range(&quot;A1&quot;))
set queryTable = queryTables.Add(&quot;URL; sheet.Range(&quot;A1&quot;))
queryTable.Name = &quot;AlertReport&quot;
queryTable.FieldNames = True
queryTable.RowNumbers = False
queryTable.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
'queryTable.PreserveFormatting = True
queryTable.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
queryTable.BackgroundQuery = True
queryTable.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
queryTable.SavePassword = True
queryTable.SaveData = True
'queryTable.AdjustColumnWidth = True
'queryTable.RefreshPeriod = 0
queryTable.Refresh
'document.all(&quot;message&quot;).innertext = &quot;Switch to the Excel window to view the data.&quot;
excelAppTmp.Quit
set excelAppTmp = nothing
excelApp.Visible = True

</script>

The below script is client side not server side.
Response.redirect is a server side method of the response object
<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
Dim excelApp
Dim worksheet
Dim sheet
dim queryTables
dim queryTable
dim cellrange
dim dataURL
dim excelAppTmp
dim WshShell

on error resume next

'set WshShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot;)
'WshShell.AppActivate(&quot;Microsoft Excel&quot;)
'Set WshShell = Nothing

Set excelAppTmp = createobject(&quot;excel.Application&quot;)

if err.number then response.redirect(&quot;ErrorDisplay.asp?ErrorString=ActiveX&quot;)

on Error Goto 0

Set excelApp = createobject(&quot;excel.Application&quot;)
excelApp.Visible = True
Set worksheet = excelApp.Workbooks.Add
worksheet.activate
Set sheet = worksheet.Sheets(1)
sheet.Activate
set queryTables = sheet.querytables
'set queryTable = queryTables.Add(&quot;URL; sheet.Range(&quot;A1&quot;))
set queryTable = queryTables.Add(&quot;URL; sheet.Range(&quot;A1&quot;))
queryTable.Name = &quot;AlertReport&quot;
queryTable.FieldNames = True
queryTable.RowNumbers = False
queryTable.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
'queryTable.PreserveFormatting = True
queryTable.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
queryTable.BackgroundQuery = True
queryTable.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
queryTable.SavePassword = True
queryTable.SaveData = True
'queryTable.AdjustColumnWidth = True
'queryTable.RefreshPeriod = 0
queryTable.Refresh
'document.all(&quot;message&quot;).innertext = &quot;Switch to the Excel window to view the data.&quot;
excelAppTmp.Quit
set excelAppTmp = nothing
excelApp.Visible = True

</script>

try this
if err.number then window.location=&quot;ErrorDisplay.asp?ErrorString=ActiveX&quot;

you may need the whole path(if
for this

if err.number then response.redirect(&quot;ErrorDisplay.asp?ErrorString=ActiveX&quot;)
