At the top of a page (in ASP code) I create an ADO connection, and then 
the recordset as follows:  Set rst = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
The rest of the page is 99% VBScript.  In a Search procedure I set rst = a 
call to the database to get some data.  That's all fine, no problem.  

The problem occurs when I try to add a new record to the recordset in 
the "AddNew" procedure.  I have the code rst.Addnew, and the error I get 
is "Object required", meaning rst is not defined somehow?  As far as I 
knew, rst was declared at the top of the page in the ASP code and should 
be "global" should it not?  Just trying to figure out scope essentially...

Hello Chris,
   Include The Script Page attached at the top of the Page in which u r
using the ADODB Objects which may resolve your problem if u have any
problems in getting the page then copy this code into one file and include
it
