"name" is a reserved word in VBScript. That's why the interpreter is
complaining. You shouldn't use it for variable names, and you definitely
can't Dim it, as it's already in use. Try this:

Dim lastname : lastname = Request.QuerySt ring("name")

Are you sure, Mike?

<%
dim name
name = "a"
response.write name
%>

Look, no errors!

<%
option explicit
dim name
name = "a"
response.write name
%>

Look, no errors!

Dim lastname : lastname = Request.QuerySt ring("name")

Last but not least,
a name by any other name smels just as sweet.

>response.wri te ("name" )

The root of the problem is in the quoting.

[and the () are also unneccessary]

Well, I was, but....

Interesting. It's not in the list
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/216528), yet my editor
(Dreamweaver) highlights it as a "Native Keyword for VBScript" (and JScript,
for that matter).

On further inspection, it seems that Dreamweaver makes no distinction
between VBScript/JScript reserved words and ADO methods and properties in
terms of its helpful code colouring.

As a prodigious user of Access in the past, I was always aware that Name is
a reserved word there, and generally avoid using it anywhere like the
plague. Just seeing the word in the OP caused bit of a knee-jerk reaction
:-)

In VB6 and VBA it's used to rename a file. Not available in VBScript. I'd
avoid it myself to save the confusion.
