I upgraded my Windows 2003 Server to SP2 32 bit.

I also applied MCMS Security patch to my existing CMS 2002 SP2 server.  The
patch was
Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 Service Pack 2 - Download the
update (KB924429)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/.../>
92EBFB0AC04

I am using Stefan's MCMSAdrotator class and Mondosearch..  But today, after
entering text in the search box and clicking search, I am now getting this
error just before my search page is rendered and fails.

Here is the error:

Bad variable type. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020008 (DISP_E_BADVARTYPE))
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information abou
t
the error and where it originated in the code.

Line 63:                 Resource r = ads[resourceIndex];
Line 64:                 //display the image

Can anyone assist?

Thanks

Tom

One more note..
This error is happening intermittent.  Most of the time the image rotates
and other times it does not.

Hi Tom,

never seen this. It is also strange that a COM exeception occurs.
You should open a support case for this.

Cheers,
Stefan
