800a01fb error when adding a key-item pair in the dictionary objec

I have a user complaining about a random error (sporadic, cannot be reliably
reproduced):

=================================
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'

An exception occurred: 'objDict.add'

=================================

And this error happens at different lines in the file. objDict is just a
dictionary object, and I don't see any problem with my code because this
error only happens on one client's shared server (IIS 6), and it only happens
at random times.

Is there a memory size limit that a single instance of the dictionary object
can hold? I by no means store a lot of data (only short strings and integer)
but I just want to rule out the possibility that the problem is with my code.

Where can I find more info on this? Is there any possible cause of this
problem?

No

No, you're going to have to do some error-trapping and log the data that
causes the error to occur. You have zero chance of solving the problem if
you cannot cause it to occur reliably.

Suggestions:

1. Click the + symbol next to your original post
2. Use a real news reader instead of the IE interface. Outlook Express can
be pretty simple t set up

PS. Of course, you're probably not going to see this message ....

Hello,

I agree with Bob that you had better to log some necessary information to
narrow down the problem. For example, you may check if the objects saved in
the dictionary are same. And all the properties of the dictionary object,
like Count, the item's key and CompareMode Property. Since the error only
occur with only one client, it may sent different data to the server than
others. You alos may try clean the cookie on the particular client and log
on as same user to narrow down the problem.
