My ASP website is acting strange: 70% of the time it works normally. 30% it shows this message

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0115'

Unexpected error

/index.asp

A trappable error (C0000005) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.

Never changed anything so what is the problem?

Is this running on your local server, or is it hosted somewhere? – miccet

The ASP 0115 error (and the C0000005 error, for that matter) can correspond with a permissions issue. Microsoft has a KB article on troubleshooting the error located here:

More information here on MSDN.

Quote from the page regarding your error:

For example, when an ASP 0115 error occurs, the browser and IIS log may display:

error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
/[Web Name]/[ASP file name].asp
A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.

When the error displays on the returned ASP page, you know:

  1. The page that caused the problem.
  2. An exception occurred in an external object.
