Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

Question

I have a Classic ASP page that contains the following code to attempt a parametised query;

<%
Set cmdEmail = Server.CreateObject(\"ADODB.Command\")
Set rsEmai         


        

Answer 1

set cmdEmail = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")

Try and put some debug statements to check, if it is creating an instance of ADODB.Command.

e.g.

If (cmdEmail is Nothing) Then
   Response.Write("could not create the instance")
Else
   Response.Write("created the instance")
End If

Also, remove the With block and see if that makes any difference

dim paramContentID

cmdEmail.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM VWTenantPropertiesResults WHERE ContentID = ?"
cmdEmail.CommandType = 1
cmdEmail.ActiveConnection = MM_dbconn_STRING

set paramContentID = cmdEmail.CreateParameter("@ContentID", 3, 1, , request.Form("ContentID"))
cmdEmail.Parameters.Append paramContentID
