Hi,
I'm trying to add a random banner to the forum, but I'm getting an error. The script (from http://www.haneng.com/Lessons_2.asp - haneng.com ) works fine on it's own, but when I include it in the forum (V6.28, in the footer) I get an error. If it is included in the footer as another include, I get: "Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4' Variable is undefined: 'LowestNumber' /forum/banner.asp, line 3" If I add it to the footer itself, I get the same thing (different line number, but same line of code). The initial part of the script is: <% RANDOMIZE LowestNumber = 1 HighestNumber = 6 RandomNumber = INT((HighestNumber-LowestNumber+1)*Rnd+LowestNumber) SELECT CASE RandomNumber CASE "1"%> I'm sure it's something simple (I'm not a programmer), could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, -Alastair |

Add the following to the top of the script:

Thanks Blair, that worked perfectly 
Dunno why it worked on its own, but not within other pages? I guess because of all the other variables going on. Do I need to 'destroy' those varaibles afterwards? Thanks, -Alastair |

They had to be declared since all the pages are set to 'Option Explicit' - which requires you to do this. Obviously the rest of your pages aren't set to do this and so you don't have to declare them there. No, you don't need to 'destroy' the variables afterwards.
