I hope I haven't done anything wrong here.

I've uploaded all the edited files.
I tried to log into Admin and got this error message:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'

Expected statement

/admin_home.asp, line 162

" <LI><a href=""admin_Links.asp"">Links Administration</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
^

These are the admin_home.asp lines 160 -164 inclusive:

<LI><a href=""admin_count.asp"">Update Forum Counts</a></LI>" & vbNewLine
if strArchiveState = "1" then Response.Write(" <LI><a href=""admin_forums.asp"">Archive Forum Topics</a></LI>" & vbNewLine)
" <LI><a href=""admin_Links.asp"">Links Administration</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
Response.Write " <LI><a href=""down.asp"">Shut Down the Forum</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup.asp"">MOD Setup</a> (<a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup2.asp"">Alternative MOD Setup</a>)</LI>" & vbNewLine & _

I guess I may have not copied something over correctly(Im just a copy and paste person)

Hope you can help
Thx

I think I may have solved this one.

I believe I have pasted to code too late in the file.

So I have deleted that code and pasted the code below this
"">Group Categories Configuration</ about line 149 instead of 162

which is the correct place

This was my mistake (Doh!)

Nope

Back to square one

I click to go into admin and get this message:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/admin_home.asp, line 164

Response.Write " <LI><a href=""down.asp"">Shut Down the Forum</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
---------------^

These are my lines 161 -165:

if strArchiveState = "1" then Response.Write(" <LI><a href=""admin_forums.asp"">Archive Forum Topics</a></LI>" & vbNewLine)
Response.Write " <LI><a href=""admin_config_groupcats.asp"">Group Categories Configuration</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><a href=""admin_Links.asp"">Links Administration</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
Response.Write " <LI><a href=""down.asp"">Shut Down the Forum</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup.asp"">MOD Setup</a> (<a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup2.asp"">Alternative MOD Setup</a>)</LI>" & vbNewLine & _

Have I goofed up? - sorry - can anybody help me out please?

Delete the part in red:

if strArchiveState = "1" then Response.Write(" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_forums.asp"">Archive Forum Topics</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine)
Response.Write " <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_config_groupcats.asp"">Group Categories Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_Links.asp"">Links Administration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
Response.Write " <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""down.asp"">Shut Down the Forum</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup.asp"">MOD Setup</a></span><font size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """> [...]

Its looking for a continuation of the statement, and not finding one.

thanks
Would this apply to the next line too (see red highlight)

<LI><a href=""admin_Links.asp"">Links Administration</a></LI>" & vbNewLine
Response.Write " <LI><a href=""down.asp"">Shut Down the Forum</a></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup.asp"">MOD Setup</a> (<a href=""admin_mod_dbsetup2.asp"">Alternative MOD

Thanks for your help

No. Here's why:

The underscore ( _ ) is a continuation character. The line after the one that was giving you trouble earlier was starting a new command (a Response.Write statement). If you look at the one there, you'll see that the next line is just another string. In that part you are telling it to concatenate that line with the string on the next line (the & _ )

Usually you do stuff like this to keep the code a little more readable (as opposed to letting a biiig long string run endlessly to the right).

Did that make sense? (Its been a looooong day)
