I am trying to separate some asp logic out into a separate page. For now, I am trying to call a simple function.

Here is the simple index page that I am using

<html> <head> <title>Calling a webservice from classic ASP</title> </head> <body> <% If Request.ServerVariables('REQUEST_METHOD') = 'POST' Then  %>   <!--#include file='aspFunctions.asp'-->   <%   doStuff() End If %> <FORM method=POST name='form1' ID='Form1'> ID: <INPUT type='text' name='corpId' ID='id' value='050893'> <BR><BR> <INPUT type='submit' value='GO' name='submit1' ID='Submit1' > </form> </body> </html>

Here is aspfunctions.asp

sub doStuff()     Response.Write('In Do Stuff') end sub

When i hit the submit button on my form i get the below sub doStuff() Response.Write(‘In Do Stuff’) end sub

Microsoft VBScript runtime error ‘800a000d’

Does anyone have any idea what i could be doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks Damien Type mismatch: ‘doStuff’

  1. aspfunctions.asp should be inside tags so the asp is "executed", e.g.

    aspfunctions.asp file:

    <% sub doStuff()     Response.Write("In Do Stuff") end sub %>

    Otherwise the asp in aspfunctions.asp is just seen as plain-text, so as far as the server is concerned, doStuff has never been defined.
