It works fine here in the same environment, can you send the entire code

Alert "You must enter a Position Title"
frmAdd.PositionTitle.focus
Exit Sub
ElseIf Len(frmAdd.Status.value)=0 Then
Alert "You must enter Status (ie Full Time, Part Time, etc...)"
frmAdd.Status.focus
Exit Sub....etc...

When it sees Len, it errors out and reports: "Object doesn't support
property or method. frmAdd.PositionTitle"

I have another script very similar to this one working just fine on another
site.
Why would this not work?
I am testing on W2K, IIS v5
Any ideas appreciated.

Looks like you are testing the form element value on the server side.
Do not think that will work.  Change the validation to the client side
so the server only sees good stuff.  User javascript ...something like..
<script language=3D"JavaScript">
<!--
function CheckForm() {
  if (document.frmAdd.PositionTitle.value =3D=3D "")
      {
       alert("Please enter a value for the PositionTitle.");
       document.frmAdd.PositionTitle.focus();
       return (false);
      }
 return (true);
}
//-->
</script>
<FORM onSubmit=3D"return CheckForm()" METHOD=3D"post" 
ACTION=3D"xxxxx.asp"
NAME=3DfrmAdd>
