I have encountered a problem while working on Active Server Pages 3.0. I 
am working on Chapter 15 and when I try to Login or do anything that 
accesses the sample database through Clssfd.asp I get this error message: 
Error Type:ActiveServerPages SP0224 (0x80004005)
Cannot load Type Library specified the METADATA tag.
/BegASP/Chapter15/Clssfd.asp, line 1


The tag looks like this to make it simpler for you.

<!-- METADATA TYPE="typelib"
FILE="C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll" -->

This is the correct path to my msado15.dll file as I've made sure of it. I 
am stumped and hoping you can direct me somewhere.

Thank you,

Andy 

Hi Andy,

Although your code should work (it does at my machine) you may get some 
help from the following page:

http://www.aspemporium.com/aspEmporium/help/helpsys.asp?PRB021


Also, did you install ADO correctly? What version are you using?

If the above page doesn't help, you may try your luck at one of the other 
ASP lists. This list is an ASP.NET list, and not a classic ASP list.
