Object doesn't support this property or method [Archive]

We upgraded our server from IIS 5.0/Win Serv 2K to IIS 6.0/Win Serv 2K3. After configuring IIS and transfering our website we're getting constant errors trying to run this page that has a good ammount of javascript on it. I'm going to put the pages up in hopes that someone can help me troubleshoot this issue.

error: "Object doesn't support this property or method" on line58 Char 12 of LoadAnything.htm

LoadAnything.htm (shortened to the function I'm having the error on)

if (Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_PORT_SECURE") == 1)
{ WhatServer1 = "https://" + WhatServer;}
else
{ WhatServer1 = "http://" + WhatServer; }

WhatServer = WhatServer1;

var CONNECTION = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION");
CONNECTION.Open("DSN=TestWeb; UID=; PWD=");
%>

I did not write this. It worked fine on the older server, but we can't get it to run. I'm not very proficient in Java and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sincerly,

It still isn't clear what line you are talking about and probably doesn't matter. If the only thing that you changed was servers, even though the error is noticed as a javascript error, it probably is something different on the new server.

Does the new server even support asp? If so, is it a different version or set up with different parameters? Are all of your include files properly in place? If any database is used, is it up and running properly?

I get the error on this line:

FileReadLib.LoadExtract(AName);

in LoadAnything.htm

I have made a page called test.asp to connect to the database and display some data on the page. This does work:

Test.asp

<%@ Language="JScript"%>

<%
//DSN-less Connection string to the database

var sdbConnString = "PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=c:/TheData/TestDisbo.mdb";

//Response.Write(Session("data_conn"));
if (Session("data_conn") != null)
cnn = Session("data_conn")
else
{
cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
cnn.Mode = 3;
cnn.Open(sdbConnString);
Session("data_conn") = cnn
}
%>

<%
RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
SQLstmt = "SELECT * FROM ACIDS";
RS.Open(SQLstmt, cnn, 3);

if (!RS.BOF && !RS.EOF) {
while(!RS.EOF) {
Response.Write(RS("ACID") + "<br>");
Response.Write(RS("SSN") + "<br>");
RS.MoveNext();
}
}
%>

}
//-->
</script>

The files/directories are example the same as on the previous server. So I've concluded that I'm able to connect and the database is running. I'm willing to take this step by step.

That would suggest that:

document.forms[0].elements[0].value;

either isn't what:

FileReadLib.LoadExtract()

is expecting or that:

FileReadLib

hasn't been defined or that:

FileReadLib.LoadExtract

hasn't been defined. The first issue would depend upon:

<INPUT type="file" id=file1 name=file1>

Having a value in the range expected when:

<input type="button" value="Load file" id="button1" name="button1" onclick="LoadFile()">

is clicked. The rest would depend on all of the resource files mentioned before:

FileReadLib.LoadExtract

being in good shape and being available in the locations indicated.

the error has to lie somewhere in this function:

function public_GetRS()
{
var SQLCommand;
SQLCommand = "SELECT * FROM CurExtract";
TheRS = TheDF.Query(DSNString,SQLCommand);
DC.SourceRecordset=TheRS;
return (TheRS);
}

I'm assuming on this line:

TheRS = TheDF.Query(DSNString,SQLCommand);

Can someone see anything wrong with my code or anything I would need to install or configure within IIS 6.0 that doesn't done by default. Please help I am so lost.
