Sub Or Function
I know the basic difference between a subroutine and a function is a
subroutine performs a task and a function performs a task and returns a
value. The Call keyword is required when using parens with subs with more
than 1 parameters. Parens around values passed are ByVal vs ByRef and is a
waste of processing if passed ByRef for no reason.
I am told there is no reason to ever use a subroutine as a function can be
used even if it doesn't return a value. While this appears to be true, is
there any reason why it's ever a bad idea to use a function, instead of a
subroutine, that doesn't return a value? Are there memory, performance,
etc. issues?

I want to use the instr function, but return results from it depending on surtain functions, I can't realy explain so I'll show my example:
I have a string in wich some word I want to find might be in diffrent Capital Letters order, I want the Instr function to return all the values of the place of that word (avcourse I'll run a for and increase the starting point of the Instr func until it returns 0). The instinct thought is to use the Lcase or the Ucase functions, but in this case I don't know how to use them. In the same Idea I wanted to use the Instr Func with the trim Func, But Its realy the same principle if I just understood how to do so.

I am trying to locate information on how to call a sub within VBScript on an
ASP page but I can't locate generic information. What I want to do is

based on a series of drop down boxes. I need the first drop down box to call
a second dropped down box based on the state that is chosen then city and so
on.

I used to be quite an experienced ASP programmer but I haven't used it for a while
I’m trying to do something that I remember as very simple I'm trying to check that the value of a form text box is numerical using the isNaN function. The code I am using is:
<%
quantity = Request.Form("number1")
if isNaN(quantity) = true then
Response.Write "Your input was not a number"
else
Response.Write "Your input was a number"
end if
%>
All I get is a NaN type mismatch error.

Here's a tricky question for you all, is it possible to have a session or global function?
Page1.asp

End Function
Page = "Page2"
Server.Execute(Page & ".asp")
%>
Page2.asp
<%
Response.Write(Hello())

However, When I run the pages, nothing is returned. Without using page includes, is it possilble to create some sort of global function?
