I'm now getting a odd error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0007)
Out of memory: 'Form'
/dishabout/login.inc, line 6


Line 6 simply requests the a hidden field that specifies whether the user is doing a "login" or "logout"


LINE  6  select case Request.Form("Method_Type")

LINE  8  case "login"
         ...

LINE 54  case "logout"
...

This is pretty basic code. Does anyone have any idea how a simple Request.Form could be returning such an error??

Here are the details in the error page..


Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0007)
Out of memory: 'Form'
/dishabout/login.inc, line 5


Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 

Page:
POST 70 bytes to /dishabout/default.asp

POST Data:
Method_Type=login&Name=dishmaster&Password=scoobydoo&SavePassWord=true


So you can see that the form contains only 4 name/value pairs.

Perhaps I can answer your earnest question. My problem is related to Snitz because I am using Snitz. But thank you for checking.

I am aware that there is no login.inc in snitz. However, because documentation and code comments are lacking I've found it helpful for debugging to isolate code in .inc files. I figured perhaps there might be a couple people here who tinker with the snitz code and may have encountered a similar problem.

Your response sugggests that either you do not believe people actually tinker with the code (Snitz doesn't have a login.inc, therefore anything with a login.inc cannot be Snitz??), or you some how think that I'm running a different forum--perhap phpBB, or vBulletin--and mistakenly posted my question here. Perhaps I posted this question to the wrong topic. Or perhaps you're just being snippy.

Perhaps you have given many regulars here a sufficient reason to *plonk* your post too

If you have edited the code and created a login.inc, then that is your code not Snitz, we can't go round fixing everybodies code as well as our own.

Also, Snitz will not cause an out of memory error, that is a system error not a code error. I would also strongly advice you not to change the extension of your files, with an extension of .inc anyone can download your code.

Scoob,
I'm sure you will receive help, even if you have tinkered with your code. I mean, many people do that.
But it is always smart to inform about it. This will make it easier for people to help you.

Typically you should have told about your splitting, and provided a link to your login.inc
You are probably right, it might have been more appropriate to post in the ASP forum.
And, suggesting that people is snippy might not be the best approch for getting help.

kind regards
NorwegianViking

Well I managed to figure out the problem on my own. But what I can't figure out is the attitude.

I never demanded anyone fix any code for me, nor did I ever take a tone that suggested I feel that this community owes me any kind of support. As a matter of fact, I get pretty irritated when I read posts from folks who do take such a tone. I understand that this is free software, and a free community, all supported by people's good intentions--it is not tech support and its not commercial software.

So, I simply said that I'm encountering an error, provided some details, and asked if anyone else had experienced it. Where's the problem?

Put yourself in our shoes and have a read of your third post again and you might see why attitudes changed. Your first two posts were fine, though lacking detail which would have assisted us to point you in the right direction quicker. Your third post however was rather patronising, perhaps even "snippy" to borrow one of your own phrases.

The forum is for Snitz related support, you neglected to point out that you had modified the code to such an extent that your files weren't even similar to those provided by the base Snitz installation, the were basically unrecognisable to any of us here, hence Nikkols fairly simple question asking how your problem was related to Snitz

Understand that everyone here will always be willing to help someone else, but you have to also help us a little bit first and make sure you clearly explain what problem your having and just what help your wanting from us.

I'm pleased you sorted your problem out in the end :)
