ASP, ADO And Dictionary Object Runtime Problem!

I have used a VBScript dictionary object to load column names and their values so I can use them when I build the web page.

When I do this, I get the correct value printed on the page:

<%Response.Write("Company Name is: " & objDict.Item("companyname"))%>

But, when I try to use it in an HTML tag, like this, I get a runtime
error '800a01b6' - Object doesn't support this property or method:
'Item':

<input type="text" maxLength=60 size=60 name=comName
value="<%objDict.Item("companyname")%>"></input>

Why does it work in one form and not the other?
