When writing a script to display an RSS feed, I got the following error:

Error: Object required: '[string, 136]'

This is because I was using the SET command to create a string, as shown below:

Dim itm  
     itm = lnk.link
     Response.Write(itm)
     Dim itmid
    Set itmid = Split(itm,"=")(1)

resulted in the error "Error: Object required: '[string, 136]'"

where this...

Dim itm  

     itm = lnk.link

     Response.Write(itm)

     Dim itmid

     itmid = Split(itm,"=")(1)

..resulted in no errors.
