Question What does this mean:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'

ActiveX component can't create object


Answer This error indicates that your IIS server is missing a required component that the application needs to function. In this case, this particular error means the server is missing the Microsoft ADO data access library. You can download this free component right from the Microsoft web site at www.microsoft.com/data. Just download and install the library on your web server. If your web site is hosted on an ISP's or Web Hosts's server, then you will need to contact their customer service or technical support department to have the problem corrected.
