Looks like you are not following the install instructions correctly and are including the same include file mutile times in the same file.

HMMMMMMMMM

Just followed: http://www.webwiz.net/webwizcaptcha/kb/captcha_basic_install.asp
and made no changes to the downloaded files.

It's not changes to the files which is the problem.

The problem is that to get this error you have copied and pasted the same data from the instructions twice to the same file. When this is done it tries to load the same CAPTCHA files more than once thus getting the error that you have.

I am guessing that you are submitting the page back to itself so you have included the following twice in your file:-




This only needs to be placed in your file once at the top of the file as the configuration data for the Web Wiz CAPTCHA only needs to be loaded once for the file.

If perhaps you gave us a link to your website page then it would be a lot easier to help you with the problem perhaps. I know I struggled a bit when I first used Captcha but its amazing how easy it is to make a simple mistake

The files themselves (provided you downloaded them from here) are sound, so the error must be a configuration problem on your page as Bruce suggests

Sorry I meant put the link where you are trying to run the captcha, example:

www.cnsa.net/2009NewTest/contactform

Or wherever the page is because the link above shows nothing but the error itself

Nether link works. However, please refer back to my last post in response to your question as I don't need to see the page to know what the issue is as can tell from the error message you posted.

Don't need to look at any of the files but please read through my post to you previously:-

Hello

Most of the time, the line of code in error is the SQL statement since SELECT statements can be very large. You can use one of the following to work around this problem:

If the SELECT goes against a single table, remove the "table." prefix in front of each column.
Create a variable to hold the SELECT statement, and concatenate the SQL over several lines as follows:

MySQL = "SELECT table.col1, table.col2 "
MySQL = MySQL & "FROM table "
MySQL = MySQL & "Where x = 3"

If the number of columns are relatively small, but the SELECT statement selects from multiple tables, create a view. Select against the view, omitting the "table." prefix in front of the columns.
For non-SQL lines of code that are too large.

have a good day.

What do I have to do to get rid of captcha - my pages don't load anymore, (a business site) because of this error

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0411'

Name redefined

/2009NewTest/CAPTCHA/CAPTCHA_configuration.asp, line 48

Dim blnCAPTCHAabout

everytime I try to edit the header.htm this keeps reposting and reposting about six different times.

any straight up help?

I've found your site. As a temporary suggestion, you could try editing the CATCHA_configuration.asp line 48, and put a remark in front of that line like so:

'Initialise variables
'Dim blnCAPTCHAabout

The ' remark line will in theory prevent the line from causing the issue, until you can see what is actually wrong. Alternatively for assistance then PM me and I'll see if I can help you remotely this end
