I was trying to make a simple edit to inc_header so that the "Members" link for
admins would point to "members.asp?method=lastheredatedesc" rather than
just members.asp...basically just to save me a step since I check that alot.

I changed the code to the following (around line 500) but get a syntax error at the if statement:
(added lines in red)

	Response.Write	"          |" & vbNewline & _
	if mlev = 4 then
		Response.Write	"          <a href=""members.asp?method=lastheredatedesc""" & dWStatus("Current members of these forums...") & " tabindex=""-1""><acronym title=""Current members of these forums..."">Members</acronym></a>" & vbNewline & _
	else
		Response.Write	"          <a href=""members.asp""" & dWStatus("Current members of these forums...") & " tabindex=""-1""><acronym title=""Current members of these forums..."">Members</acronym></a>" & vbNewline & _
        end if
	Response.Write	"          |" & vbNewline & _
			"          <a href=""search.asp"

Any ideas?

you need to remove the:

& _

from the 2 lines of code that you have within the if/then statement

and also from the line of code just before the if/then statement.

Thanks Richard!

So, just for those of us not fluent in ASP, what does & _ represent?

& _ tells the parser to continue with the next line as if it was still on the current line of code.

In the example you were having a problem with, it tried to attach the if statement into the response.write, which gave it an error.
