<%
Option Explicit
Dim replies
replies = (rsDetails.Fields.Item("ICQ".Value)
if replies = Null then
response.write ("N/A"
else
response.write (replies)

i tried that but i got the error
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0400)
Expected statement
/member_view.asp, line 263
Option Explicit

so i took the option Explict out so it was like this
<%
Dim replies
replies = (rsDetails.Fields.Item("ICQ".Value)
if replies = Null then
response.write ("N/A"
else
response.write (replies)
end if
%>
but i then got the error
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0411)
Name redefined
/member_view.asp, line 280, column 4
Dim replies

any more suggestions?

Name Redefined usually means that you have 1 or more areas (usually includes) that are defining or redefining a variable, each, causing a conflict.

When you have errors, it's always best to place either entire page code of 20+/- lines of where the error is, in your case, list lines 243-300
