Object drop downs not appearing

Bill Murphy · Sep 2, 2003

I have an existing ASP file in a virtual directory. When I type server. or
request. in this text file using Microsoft Script Editor I get a dropdown
showing the properties available for the object. However, if I change the
extension to ASP on an existing html file, or create a new asp file I'm not
getting the dropdown. I suppose this indicates the objects are not
available in these new files, and they would not run properly if I tried to
open them.

What am I missing in setting up these new ASP files?

are you missing the @ declaration or the <% %> ?

Curt,

Here's the code from the existing ASP where intellisense is working (from
Access 2002 Enterprise Developer's Handbook):

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript" %>
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>ChartComponent.asp</TITLE>
<% Option Explicit %>




<%

When I type server. right after the final <% intellisense works. But if I
copy this exact code into a new ASP file and open it in Microsoft Script
Editor it doesn't work.

I just read an article at aspfaq.com (article #2167) which discusses this
problem and suggests replacing asp.tlb with a different version. But it
seems that if one ASP file works on my PC then they all should work, and the
file should not need replacing.

Curt,

Here's the code from the ASP that works (from Access 2002 Enterprise
Developer's Handbook):

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript" %>
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>ChartComponent.asp</TITLE>
<% Option Explicit %>




<%

When I type server. right after the final <% Intellisense kicks in
and I get the list of properties for the server object. But if I
copy this into a new ASP file and open it in Microsoft Script
Editor, Intellisense does not work.
