PRB: Error 0x80004005 When You View ASP Page in Browser
This article was previously published under Q307190
When you view an Active Server Pages (ASP) page in the browser, you may receive the following error message:
Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0141 (0x80004005)
The @ command can only be used once within the Active Server Page.
/pagename.asp, line xx
This error occurs if the server reads two lines of code that contain the @ command in server script. Often, this happens if the main page contains a line such as:
and also contains a server-side include file that points to another page that contains the same line.
To resolve this problem, make sure that you only use the @ command once in the page, and make sure that your include files do not contain a line with the @ command. If you need to change language in the middle of the page, use a script block. For example:
<SCRIPT Language=VBScript Runat=Server>
...
</SCRIPT>
This behavior is by design.
Microsoft Script Encoder adds the following line by default to pages with an .asp file extension that it encodes:
<%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript.Encode %>
If your include files have an .asp file extension, you will probably encounter this problem.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- In Notepad, create a new ASP page named P1.asp, and paste the following code:
<%@Language=VBScript%>
<!-- #include file="Hello.asp" -->
<%=" World"%>
- Save P1.asp in your Default Web Site's home directory.
- In Notepad, click New on the File menu.
- Create a new ASP page named Hello.asp, and paste the following code:
<%@Language=VBScript%>
<%="Hello"%>
- Save Hello.asp in your Default Web Site's home directory.
- In your browser, type the following address in the Address bar:
http://<localhost>/P1.asp
