Problem with "on error goto label" code

[Tim]

I'm trying to do the following in an ASP form:


on error goto errhandler

<code>

errhandler:
<error handling code>


I get the following:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'

Syntax error

/admin/StartCampaign.asp, line 30

on error goto errhandler
--------------^



Can't I use error handler just like in VB. It says so in my ASP book.

ASP (VBScript) doesn't support On Error Goto statement
Use
On Error Resume Next
' .....
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
' ERROR
Else
' No error
End If

Alternatively, if you are running IIS 5, you can use JScript's Try/Catch syntax.
