HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0414)
Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub
/*********.asp, line ***, column 37
addsubcat(rsCat("cat_id"), strSpaces)
------------------------------------^

That is the error message that I get when I try to execute this function:

<%
Function addsubcat(parentID, strSpaces)

sql = "SELECT * FROM categories WHERE cat_parent = " & parentID & ";"
Set rsCat = Server.Createobject("ADODB.Recodset")
rsCat.open sql, ado

WHILE NOT rsCat.EOF

strNewSpaces = strSpaces & "&nbsp;"

Response.Write("<option value=" & rsCat("cat_id") & ">" & strNewSpaces & rsCat("cat_name") & "</option>")

addsubcat(rsCat("cat_id"), strNewSpaces)
rsCat.MoveNext

WEND
rsCat.close
Set rsCat = Nothing

End Function
%>

The error occurs every time I try to execute that function with more than one parameter. If I delete one of the paremeters from the function header and don't send it when calling it, the error doesn't appear. But I really need the second parameter.

I'm writing this new topic because I started http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=5889&PN=1&TPN=1 - this one but it's too confusing for a rather simpler problem.

Thanks in advance for any help!

so what part is confusing?  the DLL is saying "don't use parathensis"

which means instead of:
addsubcat(rsCat("cat_id"), strNewSpaces)

do:
addsubcat rsCat("cat_id"), strNewSpaces

you can alternatively do:
Call addsubcat(rsCat("cat_id"), strNewSpaces)

Thank you so much MorningZ!! It worked!!

I guess I need to learn a bit more about calling functions in ASP lol

Can Someonw help I'm trying to make an asp page create a file or folder using radio boxes to make my function, create the file on my web server, under the primary dir, using Scripting.FileSystemObject

For more information please contact me

Thanks

Neo

Should've started a new topic for this....

This is to create a folder called "MyFolder" on the dir where the script is:

Dim objFSO
Dim objMkFolder
Dim strFolderName

strFolderName = Server.MapPath("MyFolder")

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objMkFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strFolderName)
Set objMkFolder = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
