asp fun*#@@

Hi,

I have program below that works fine if I hard code the values in question
but if I try to use variables I get a type mismatch.

If the line reads
Call FirstCOM.CreateUser("MyComputer","myaccount")
it works fine as long as the "MyComputer" is an actual computer.
But if I create a form, type in the two values above, call the asp file I
get a type mismatch. I printout the variables in question to make sure they
contain values and they do.

this call doesn't work where comp_name and usr_account are variables
Call FirstCOM.CreateUser(comp_name,usr_account)

<html>
<body>
<head><title>testing</title></head>
<% language = vbscript %>
<%dim comp_name
dim usr_account
dim FirstCOM
comp_name = request.form("computername")
usr_account = request.form("account")
response.write(comp_name)
%>

computer: <%= comp_name %>
account: <%= usr_account %>

<%Set FirstCOM = Server.CreateObject("ADSI_COM.UsrMgmt")
Call FirstCOM.CreateUser(comp_name,usr_account) '*****TYPE MISMATCH HERE
Response.write "Error " & Err.number & " "
Response.write "Done!"
%>
</body>
</html>

Please post the exact error message you are receiving. We need to see the
error source - VBScript, or COM

Cheers

For debugging purposes perhaps print out the SQL statement something
like this:

'!!!
Response.Write "strSQL: " & strSQL & " "
Response.Flush

Thanks the solution was to make sure it was a string before calling the com
object.
comp_name = CStr(request.form("computername"))
usr_account = CStr(request.form("account"))

Initial error was:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'CreateUser'

/test/newuser.asp, line 18

18: Call FirstCOM.CreateUser(comp_name,usr_account)
