Hi, guys.

I want to ask you how to call function.
Please take a look at code.

<html>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
Sub A1_OnClick
call whatever()
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<title>Create Excel on Server</title>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON NAME="A1" VALUE="A1 Create">

</body>
</html>

Clicking button will call the function in functions.inc file
-functions.inc

<%
Function whatever()
'Name of the access db being queried
accessdb="tech_re"
.......
End function
%>

But when I clicked the button, it says error message.
Type mismatch 'whatever'
But I checked spelling, nothing is wrong as you can see.
Can you guys see the problem? Thank you.

Hi,

Seems like you are trying to mix client side and server side script, or I am wrong?

<html>
<script language="vbscript'>
...
</script>
</html> does look like client-side to me, from which you invoke the .inc file's function that resides on the server, right?

I would do this:

functions.inc

<%
Function whatever (args)

End Function
%>


<%
output=whatever(args)
%>
<html>
<body>
<p><%=output%> </p>
</body>
</html>

This way, you get the return values from the function server-side which you can output anywhere on the page.

In being that you have a call statement to a function, I would think the function needs to be a Sub if it isn't returning anything. Otherwise, I believe that all functions must be call in a normal expression.
