User defined functions in frontpage

[Alan]

Hello all

I wish to create a number of user defined functions for use in frontpage
between the <% and %> symbols at the beginning of an asp page.

The functions I have written in the frontpage module (Tools>Macro>Visual
Basic Editor) do not seem to be recognised by my asp page that calls the
function.

I get a "Type mismatch" error message - the line number is the line that
calls the function.
I get the same message irrespective of the code in the function.

What am I doing wrong?

Should I be using Add-Ins? All I want is to run the same code from a number
of asp pages. It seemed a function would be a sensible way to do this and
this is the way I would use in say, MS Access.

But I can't get the functions to run in frontpage.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers...Alan

ASP uses VBscript as a default language and can not run not VBA functions

Macros work on FP (e.g. automating FP steps) or the Application. They do
not work as web pages. For functions with <% or script tags, you need to
write functions in vbscrip, javascript, php etc, and you must inlude
them in the dybmica page directly or tgrouthg linked page.
