Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0408) Invalid character

[aklsdjfh]

I'm no expert in asp and vbscript but not a total beginner. I've got some
VBScript in an asp page which is generating a forumla for use in Lotus Notes
replication.

The line that it is objecting to is
<% if user2 <> "" then response.write( "| @IsMember(&quot ;" & LCase(user2) &
"&quot;;@LowerC ase(@Name([CN];AssignedTo)))" ) end if %>

i.e. if the string user2 is "Mike" I expect the HTML to be
| @IsMember(&quot ;mike&quot;;@Lo werCase(@Name([CN];AssignedTo)))

and the display in the browser to be
| @IsMember("mike ";@LowerCase(@N ame([CN];AssignedTo)))

The server responds
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0408)
Invalid character
/6500/notes_atform.as p, line 25, column 57
if user2 <> "" then response.write( "| @IsMember(&quot ;" & LCase(user2) &
"&quot;;@LowerC ase(@Name([CN];AssignedTo)))" ) end if
--------------------------------------------------------^

i.e. it is the semicolon on the first &quot; that it doesn't like. Why not?
It is part of a string in quotes?

I thought getting rid of the &quot; by using ...IsMember(" & chr(34) &
LCase(... instead, but I now get the same error but at the ampersand before
the LCase().

I guess I'm missing somethign obvious. Please help!
