[thelist] VBScript and ASP MsgBox

[Cymbala, Greg]

A MsgBox call inside server-side script will generate an error because it's
trying to pop up a message box *on the server*, not the client (browser).
That's why you're not allowed to call MsgBox on the server.

Can someone do me a favor. I need a second opinion on this piece of code
used in an ASP page:

<snip>
MsgBox("Are you Sure you want to delete this user(s)?", vbYesNo, "Just
Checking")
</snip>

I keep getting:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied: 'MsgBox'
/cms/removeuser.asp, line 106

Ironically, this is the same runtime error I get when using CDONTS and try
to send mail.

Any suggestions? Are my server permissions for my DB user pooched?
