Left Error

I have 2 copies of our intranet. After I copied the intranet over to our backup server, I started getting this error on the backup server, but not the main server. I ahve gotten this error every once in a while in the past. Any idea why I am getting it and how I can get rid of it. IIS is installed on both machines. The OS was installed fromt eh same place and everyhting. They both have new OS's with a few months. I know it is not the line of code since it works ont he other machine and has since March.

I am getting this error:

Code:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0005)
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Left'
/Default.asp, line 16

Maybe, it had be nice to post what is written on line 16, however I suspect that you have differents DNS names for those sites and in your code you check for the first one.
I suspect that in line 15, or something before.., you have an 'InStr()' that returns 'Null', Then this 'Null' value is inserted at line 16 in a Left() call. Like the error message intelligently says this is an invalid argument.

Here is the line of code:

Code:

WebUserDomain = Left(WebUser,instr(Webuser,"\")-1)

This page has nothing to do with DNS. It does not care what the server name is at all. I built it that way on purpose.
