ADOVBS processing error

[Neil Gould]

Hi,

In debugging an ASP script, I receive the error message:
--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0411'

Name redefined

/test/config/include/ADOVBS.INC, line 14

Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0
-------^
What is redefining the Name?

Is there some place to clarify such error messages?

TIA

Neil

"adOpenForwardOnly" is declared twice -- somewhere.

Look for another
Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0
or (unlikely)
Dim adOpenForwardOnly

Did you include the file twice?
Does the include file declare it twice?
Does another include declare it?

Create a new asp page, put this code into it and run it:

<%
Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0
Const adOpenForwardOnly = 0
%>

What error do you get? Does this perhaps provide a clue as to what is
going on in the page you are having a problem with?

In case you need to be beaten with a clue-stick: look for another place
in your code where you (or whoever wrote the code) defined that
constant.

If you have any of the following lines in your global.asa file, you will get
such a message upon including ADOVBS.INC:

Thanks. This was the problem, though not immediately obvious; ADOVBS.INC
was included in a file that was included in another .ASP script.

Best,

Neil

That would be obvious, and easy to track down. But, as I didn't write
ADOVBS.INC, the problem wasn't as obvious as that. McKirahan got it right.

Thanks, Dave. I'll keep this in mind.

Actually, he said the same thing i did, just in a different way
