5 Invalid procedure call or argument

Is the error in server-side ASP or in client-side script?

This is the error I receive:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument: 'string'

/ithelpdesk/Tech/Reassign.asp, line 68

This is the code from the page, line 68:
if len(varDiv) > varLongestDivision then varDiv =
left(varDiv,(varLongestDivision - 3)) & "..."

I'm also getting this on another page so any help you could give me would be
a bonus.

Thanks,
George

I should think that the varLongestDivision variable has a value of less than
3 which means that the Left functions is instructed to extract a string from
before the first char. That will cause an error.

 function _SOM_createDE()
 {
  if (!this._bDECreated)
  {
   DE = Server.CreateObject('DERuntime.DERuntime');
   DE.Init(Application('DE')); (!this is the faulty line!)
   this._bDECreated = true;
  }
 }

this code is contained in the pm.asp, part of the scriptlibrary directory
when using interdev.  The asp is called when using design time controls.  I
to would appreciate some help, and this may help george as well.
