Function Calls not working

[Johnny]

I am trying to create a simple 1 page asp page that should be very
easy, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. It lists a
person's gross income, and a list of deductions, number of dependents,
and a net income. As each field is entered, the net income field
should be refreshed. Problem is, there is one additional field that I
need to refresh along with net income. The value for this field needs
to be retrieved from an existing DLL which looks up the correct value
in an xml table.

I can create the object:
<%
SET objLook = Server.CreateObject("GL2k.Guideline")
%>

I can have other functions in a <Script></script> block,
SUB recalc()
...
END SUB

And have it recalc every time the field changeds,
<INPUT name="fld1" value="0.00" onchange=recalc()

But, I cannot figure out how to access the objLook object without
getting a 'jscript' or server error. It should be able to call the
recalc routine, then I want it to call a routine from the object,
objLook.Lookup(...variables...), but I can't make it work.

any ideas?

thanks in advance.

objLook exists on the server. you are trying to access it from the client.

Here is a similar concept with the page refresh including some new
information from a database:
