Hi to everyone, especialy all those who have helped to make this such a great free and versatile forum and those that help novices like myself out.

I have spent a while looking around the different topics and have seen a few bits, but my question is, can anyone suggest a good reliable chat room that I could download and drop into my forum with ease, this is the last bit I need and would appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks for your time

Sorry about that, first time here, have seen the right forum now.

Have been trying this, giving me global.asa problems though, will keep trying, and thanks again.

Put the global.asa file in the root of your site i.e. c:\inetpub\wwwroot not c:\inetpub\wwwroot\chat

Mart.

Hi Mart,

This is where my global.asa is, I have it in with the forum, Guestbook, cgi-bin dir's and the main .html pages. If I take out the code for the chat and leave the script in for active users, it all works no problem, but as soon as I put the code in for the chat (which I put in at the very top, above the script) I get this error

The object instance 'conquerChatUsers' cannot have Application or Session scope. To create the object instance with Session or Application scope, place the Object tag in the Global.asa file.
/global.asa, line 1.

On line 1 I have

<OBJECT RUNAT="Server".

I am at a loss, I would like to get this chat to work, but spent last night trying different things and got no where.

If you or anyone else could be of more help, I really would appreciate it, thanks again

Can you post the full Global.asa file.

It should be <script language="vbscript" runat="server"> on line one

Mart.

Hi Mart

Under here is the full global.asa, I didn't have <script language="vbscript" runat="server"> in at the top, so just tried it, it then error was 

Expected statement
//global.asa, line 2
<OBJECT RUNAT="Server" so I removed this line, it fails basicly on all the <OBJECT> take these out and I then get SCOPE is undefined,

Thanks for this Mart
