Having problems installing Web Wiz that I hope you guys can help me with. I get the following error everytime I run the msSQL_server_setup.asp.

Thanks in advance!

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/BBoard/forum/admin/SQL_server_connection.asp, line 50

Dim strSQLServerName MY_SERVER            'Holds the name of the SQL Server

You need to change the connection settings in SQL_server_connection.asp... If you have already done that make sure all the values have " " quotes around them like this:

Dim strSQLServerName 
strSQLServerName = "MY_SERVER"

Below is an example of how I edited the SQL_server_connection.asp.

Should I delete the info I put after the Dim statements?

******* (start of SQL_server_connection.asp) ************

Dim strSQLServerName MY_SERVER      ; 'Holds the name of the SQL Server
Dim strSQLDBUserName MYUSER 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
Dim strSQLDBPassword PASSWORD     'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
Dim strSQLDBName         FORUMDB   'Holds name of a database on the server

'------------- The Driver Below is if you are using SQL Server (Do Not Use Unless you know and have an SQL Server) ---------------------------

'Enter the details of your SQL server below
strSQLServerName = "MY_SERVER" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server
strSQLDBUserName = "MYUSER" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBPassword = "PASSWORD" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBName = "FORUMDB" 'Holds name of a database on the server
