Runtime error 0x800A01F4 - undefined variable 'adUseClient' Thu, Jul 19. 2007

I moved some websites from an old Win2k Server to a new one with MDAC 2.8. Suddenly, one of the sites didn't work anymore, with an error message like:


Microsoft VBScript run-time error (0x800A01F4)
Undefined variable: 'adUseClient'

or, in Italian as I got it:


Errore di run-time di Microsoft VBScript (0x800A01F4)
Variabile non definita: 'adUseClient'

Of course these sites are VB/ASP crap and I don't know VB/ASP. Nor will, I hope. So, after googling around for a COUPLE OF F*CKIN' HOURS I found that somewhat the author has forgotten a simple line:


<!-- #include file = "adovbs.inc"-->

Well, I don't know what this file is, nor where you can find it. I know it solved the problem. Maybe the next unlucky sysadmin will spend only a few minutes to get over this shit...
