ID: Q219160

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 2000

SYMPTOMS

After you run Asp.exe on Microsoft Personal Web Server version 1.0a, the following error message may appear when you preview Active Server Pages with Database results:

Microsoft VBScript Runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'Server.HTMLEncode' /WebName/_fplcass/fpdblib.inc, line 29

NOTE: WebName is the name of the folder your web is stored in.

NOTE: This error message may vary, depending on the Web browser that you are using.

CAUSE

When you run Asp.exe after you install Office 2000, your version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) is downgraded. The earlier version of MDAC does not support FrontPage 2000 database functionality.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use one of the two following methods:

Method 1

Run FrontPage Maintenance Mode Setup, and select Detect and Repair.

Method 2

Install Microsoft Data Access Components version 2.1 or later. MDAC 2.1 may be downloaded from the following Microsoft Web site:

NOTE: Because the Microsoft Web site is constantly updated, the site address may change without notice. If this occurs, link to the Microsoft home page at the following address:

http://www.microsoft.com

On the main Microsoft page, click the Search button. Search for "MDAC" (without quotation marks).
