VB Syntax error appears in one page but not the other?

So Ive been working really hard to get a working ASP captcha to incorporate into my form (note, classic ASP not .net).

I FINALLY got it working in a test area, the form looks like this:

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2.  
  3.   <form action="<%=Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>" method="post">   
  4.    <table border="0" width="570" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
  5. 				<tr> 
  6. 				    <td align="right" valign="center"><%=font4%><font color="#ff0000">*&nbsp;</font>First Name:&nbsp;</td>
  7. 				    <td align="left" valign="top"><input name="first" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="1"></td>
  8. 				  </tr>
  9. 				  <tr> 
  10. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%><font color="#ff0000">*&nbsp;</font>Last Name:&nbsp;</font></td>
  11. 				    <td align="left"><input name="last" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="2"></td>
  12. 				  </tr>
  13. 				   <tr> 
  14. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%>Company Name:&nbsp;</font></td>
  15. 				    <td align="left"><input name="company" size="25" maxlength="100" tabindex="3"></td>
  16. 				  </tr> 
  17. 				  <tr> 
  18. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%><font color="#ff0000">*&nbsp;</font>E-Mail&nbsp;Address:&nbsp;</font></td>
  19. 				    <td align="left"><input name="email" size="25" maxlength="100" tabindex="4"></td>
  20. 				  </tr>
  21. 				  <tr> 
  22. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%> Phone:&nbsp;</font></td>
  23. 				    <td align="left"><input name="phone" size="25" maxlength="20" tabindex="5"></td>
  24. 				  </tr>
  25.  
  26. 				  <tr> 
  27. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%> Part# 1:&nbsp;</font></td>
  28. 				    <td align="left"><input name="partno1" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="6"></td>
  29. 				  </tr>
  30. 				  <tr> 
  31. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%> Part# 2:&nbsp;</font></td>
  32. 				    <td align="left"><input name="partno2" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="7"></td>
  33. 				  </tr>
  34. 				  <tr> 
  35. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%> Part# 3:&nbsp;</font></td>
  36. 				    <td align="left"><input name="partno3" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="8"></td>
  37. 				  </tr>
  38. 				  <tr> 
  39. 				    <td align="right"><%=font4%> Part# 4:&nbsp;</font></td>
  40. 				    <td align="left"><input name="partno4" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="9"></td>
  41. 				  </tr>
  42.  
  43. 				  <tr> 
  44. 				    <td align="right" valign="top"><%=font4%><font color="#ff0000">*&nbsp;</font>Comments:&nbsp;</td>
  45. 				    <td align="left"><textarea name="message" rows="8" wrap="virtual" cols="20" tabindex="10"></textarea></td>
  46. 				  </tr>
  47. 				  <tr> 
  48. 				    <td align="right" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
  49. 				    <td align="left"> 
  50.  
  51. <%
  52. 'Specify your captcha length here
  53. captchaLength = 5
  54.  
  55. Function captcha(captchaLength)
  56. 	if captchaLength > 15 then captchaLength = 15
  57. 	HighestValue = left(100000000000000,captchaLength)
  58. 	lowestValue = left(999999999999999,captchaLength)
  59. 	Randomize 
  60. 	intHighestNumber = Int((HighestValue - LowestValue + 1) * Rnd) + LowestValue
  61. 	session("captcha") = Int(intHighestNumber)
  62. 	x = 1
  63. 	response.write vbcrlf & "<table width = ''>" & vbcrlf & vbtab & "<tr>" & vbcrlf
  64. 	while x <= captchaLength
  65. 		response.write vbtab & vbtab & "<td align = 'center'><img src = 'captcha.asp?captchaID=" & x & "' ></td>" & vbcrlf
  66. 		x = x + 1
  67. 	wend
  68. 	response.write vbtab & "</tr>" & vbcrlf & "</table>" & vbcrlf
  69. End Function
  70. %>
  71.  
  72. <%
  73. if request("action") = "captcha" then
  74. 	if cstr(request("captcha")) = cstr(session("captcha")) then
  75. 		response.write "Correct!"
  76. 	else
  77. 		response.write "Sorry, no match."
  78. 	end if
  79. end if
  80. %>
  81.  
  82.                        Enter Code: <input name="captcha"> <BR />
  83. 				         <input type="submit" name="submit" src="images/b_submit.gif" border="0" tabindex="13" id="image1"  value="Submit"></td>
  84. 				  </tr>
  85. 				</table>
  86.   </form>

it works great, but as soon as I move it over to the page I need it to and incorporate that form into it, I get a VB error. The error says:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'

Syntax error

/RoHSCompliant2.asp, line 174

Function captcha(captchaLength)
^

so i know where the error is but not how to remedy it. why would it be doing this? what code in the rest of the page could pull such an error?

THANKS!

We had a similar error and it transpired our function decleration was inside a loop.

It wasn't obvious to us at first, as the function dec was inside an include, and the loop was in the parent page.

Hope this helps.
