you're either trying to use ASP.NET (not supported and won't work)

or

You're not encapsulating your script properly...

if you're using classic ASP (as you should be with AHTML)

You'll need to state the language at the very top of your page (before anything else) such as:

<%@ Language = VBScript %>

Then your script can be inserted as:

<%

.. enter your script here ...

%>
