global.asa error 'The object has an invalid ProgID...'

[bbxrider]

win2k adv serv, iis5.0

trying to activate ado constants etc, once in the global.asa file to be
efficient about that with
<!--METADATA TYPE="TypeLib" NAME="Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1
Library" UUID="{00000201-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}" VERSION="2.5"-->
but
i've run into the progid problem, have searched many google groups for what
the answer might be but so far nothing, can anybody help??
my oreilly sez the progid is 'the object's programmatic identifier, as
defined in the registry', but i don't know what that means

here is the offending global.asa line 1
<object runat=server scope=application id=web1 progid="web1">
</object>

this is the error
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0134'

Invalid ProgID attribute

//global.asa, line 1

The object has an invalid ProgID of 'web1'.

instead of that line,

add the adovbs.inc file as an include file

find it on google

Actually, the META tag is the better way to do it than by using adovbs.inc.

HTH,

a progid typically has 2 parts. the activex server name and the object name.
as in "adodb.connection". you need to determine the correct progid for the
object you are trying to instantiate.

What is "web1"? What kind of object are you trying to store in application
scope? [url]http://www.aspfaq.com/2053[/url]

This is where the error message is coming from, it has nothing to do with
the metadata tag.

[bbxrider]

web1 is the virtual website/website root directory, that is my
understanding of 'defining' the application

i'm trying to invoke/instantiate (not sure of correct terminoloy) the meta
data for ado only once, so i can have access to at least the constants, if
not more and won't be doing that for each asp file, the meta data is:

<!--METADATA TYPE="TypeLib" NAME="Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1
Library" UUID="{00000201-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}" VERSION="2.5"-->

since this is my first global.asa, now i realize i'm sure where the meta
data goes? within the object tags or the application_onstart subroutine

You don't do this in global.asa... you set an application through Internet
Services Manager (a GUI tool located on the machine).

This should be all you need, except you seem to be confused about whether
you want 2.1 or 2.5. Did you look at [url]http://www.aspfaq.com/2112[/url] ?
