.asp error '0140'. But nothing wrong with page???

Has anyone ever got the 'asp 0140' error even though they have had the '<% @
Language = VBScript %>' in the first line of the code?

I can't fathom why the page won't display. It keeps telling me 'the @ command
must be in the first command' in the page, which it is. Yet I still get the
error. Anyone know why?

Any input would be much appreciated

Hi,
why not just take the line out - it's not necessary for your ASP code to run

Not needed??? I'm pretty sure the code won't run without it. That's the whole error is it not?

According to this article the language declaration is not needed, just as
Jon mentioned:

It still doesn't explain the error message though. I've tried pasting your
code into a page on my server and it doesn't give me the error. I thought
maybe it was an issue with the lack of quotes or spacing of your version. My
pages in Dreamweaver use this for the first line:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>

A search at Google groups turned up a conflict caused by including another
VBScript file within the page, are you using any includes?
