Lo All <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>Just got a new book, ASP in a Nutshell and am working on one of the examples for an Advertisement Rotator.
Keep getting an error ((MSWC.Adrotator error '80004005'
ERROR Cannot load rotation schedule file
/default.asp, line 28
According to the book if this error is recieved then it is down to the way the .txt file storing the links is written, and seeing as i've never done this before, I'm a little confused.
Does the .txt file need any tags of any kind??
Anyways, as per say example in book, this is what i did.
## Ad Rotate Text File ##
REDIRECT /AdRecord.asp
WIDTH 400
HEIGHT 80
BORDER 0
