Arguments are of the wrong type

I'm getting the following error:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'

Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in
conflict with one another.

/shop/results.asp, line 15

line 15 is the recordset open line. Can someone please help

if isnull(session("whois")) then
response.Redirect("../default.asp")
else
getCon=Application("connectionObject")
set objshop=server.CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
dim categoryid
categoryid = request.querystring("cat")
objshop.open "select * from tblproducts where catkey = " & categoryid &"
order by catkey",getcon,3,3

<%
categoryid = request.querystring("cat")
RESPONSE.WRITE "select * from tblproducts where catkey = " & categoryid &"
order by catkey"
RESPONSE.END
%>

Load that.  Does your query look right?  If so, open up tool for running
queries against your database and try running it.  You didn't indicated what
database type you're using, so if this is SQL, use Query Analyzer.  Access,
the query editor window, etc.

The sql statement is correct. I am using Access database.

You verified that it is correct by copying and pasting that exact query and
running it in the Access query window?

Yes, and the query worked perfect. Here is what I copied and pasted

select * from tblproducts where catkey = 1 order by catkey

Alright, what is "getcon" then?  Can you post that function?

Ray,

First, thanks for your help. Second, 'getcon' is the connection object. The
strange thing is that this script worked fine and then all of sudden with no
warning it stopped working. I'm at a brick wall with this one. I've spent
almost 24 hours trying to figure this one ou t.

I don't understand the final bit: ... categoryid & "

Why append a double quote?  Surely that's neither needed nor correct, and
results in three double quotes in the line.  Remove the final &"

your storing your connection object in an application variable? bad idea.

How did you deduce that her connection object is being stored in an app
variable?  :]
