I'm looking at some code (of course not mine!!! ;-) and it throws all kinds of errors on IIS7 because they don't declare their variables but just start using them. When I throw in a "dim" everything works. Can I turn it off? It's in like 1000s of files.

Reply Contact Drop this into your sites' config files or set this in the machine's root web.config file.  The specific section for this is system.web/compilation.  <system.web>      <compilation explicit="false" /> </system.web> Using Administration Pack's Configuration editor will make changing this easy.

That's why it's not working in IIS7 as it seems, although it did work in IIS6 on Windows2003. But there are like 10.000s of pages and we can't all just check them to see if they work. Especially because the error only occurs when you're passing through the code. If the code isn't hit, the error doesn't occur.

  Re: option explicit on by default? Reply Contact Option Explicit is not on by default.  I wrote a simple webpage to write out the date and time and it worked fine.   You probably have an include file or somewhere in-code setting Option Explicit.  I would search inside files with Windows Search feature to see if you can find the text. <% var = Now() response.write(var) %> Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget
