Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f5' Illegal assignment

This page is supposed to add a new category to a table in my database.  When I submit the form to add the new category I get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f5'

Illegal assignment: 'doSaveEditCat'

/catFuncs.asp, line 76
 
Despite this the category is successfully added to the database.  Can anyone tell me why I get this error?  I have included the referenced code below:

'--Function:  Add a new category
function doSaveAddNewCat(catname, parent)
      Dim sqltext
      Dim retVal
      
      if (len(parent) = 0) Then
            parent = 0
      end if
      sqltext = "INSERT INTO tblCategoryNew (Category, Parent) VALUES ('" & dbSafeString(catname) & "'," & parent & ")"

      retVal = doDBWrite(sqltext)
      writeLogEntry "Add New", "Directory Category", now, dbSafeString(catname), session("User_FirstName") & " " & session("User_Lastname"), sqltext
      doSaveEditCat = retVal
end function


Also, when I try to delete categories I get a "page can not be found" page and the category does not get deleted.  I don't know if these two issue are related, but the following code may help with the second problem:

'--Function:  Delete a category
function doDeleteCat(catID)
      Dim retVal
      Dim lrecords
      Dim sqltext
      Dim parent
      
      retVal = ""
      parent = getParentID(catID)
      sqltext = "DELETE FROM tblCategoryNew WHERE CategoryID = " & catID
      if (checkAccess(0,ADMIN) = 1) Then
            on error resume next
            lRecords = 0
            conData.execute sqlText,lRecords      
            if (err.number <> 0) Then
                  retVal = sqltext
            else
                  sqltext = "DELETE FROM tblCategoryNew WHERE Parent = " & temp
                  lRecords = 0
                  conData.execute sqlText,lRecords      
            end if
      end if

      writeLogEntry "Delete", "Directory Category", now, getCatName(catID), session("User_FirstName") & " " & session("User_Lastname"), sqltext
      doDeleteCat = retVal
end function

I welcome and and all suggestions!  Thanks.
