Error indicating lines of code which don't exist

I'm getting this error:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'CBool'
/regweb/newcoursesubmit_interface/Results/editor/edit.asp, line 385

The number of lines only goes to 335. What does this mean?

I did go to aspfaq.com but the suggestions there don't seem to have any
bearing upon this weird problem.
I've been reading and writing content to a database via ASP successfully.
Double checked the column names in the database and the ASP coding. There's
no mismatch relating to "'CBool'".

Are there any "includes" in the "page"?

Try using Response.Write at various points to debug.

Also, the line count includes any blank lines, not just lines with code.
And, your message indicates a problem with the CBool function. This function
requires a numeric value. You may be able to find where this is used. You
may have passed a string value to the function.

Yes, there are several files called upon. The files were generated by a
FrontPage wizard.
When I receive the error, it defines the webpage that would be calling the
"include" file; does IIS recognize "included" files as a part of the calling
file?

Michael,

You mentioned "And, your message indicates a problem with the CBool
function. This function requires a numeric value."
I did alter my Access database trying to present data correctly over the
internet. Would this cause a CBool malfunction.

Hi,

Yes, this might be the cause of your problem. Some platforms store True and
False for booleans, others store 1 and 0, and some store -1 and 0. Boolean
True in VBScript, for example is -1, but in SQL it is 1, and in VB and
VBScript you test by comparing to True (not "True", which is a string). The
CBool function converts 0 to boolean False and any other numeric to True. If
the value passed to CBool is True or "True", an error is raised. In VB when
I access data in an SQL database I frequently need to convert True to 1 and
False to 0 (or the reverse).

Thanks Richard,

This makes sense regarding the error I ran into; recreating project.
Glad the project had not been developed to far. :)
