Checking if your recordset will return any records is a simple task to accomplish. However, sometimes when you are in a hurry, you may make the following mistake, which will generate the Object required: 'False' error.
Details
When you want to check if there are records in your database, make sure that you only use eof or bof one time, as this may happen.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'False'
/PostCom.asp, line 90
Recreate Issue
To recreate this issue.

If you are checking your RS (RecordSet) to see if you have any records or not.

<%
if rs.eof.eof then
response.write"There are no records available"
end if
%>

In the above code example, you can see where we have double eof.eof
This will generate the above error.
This happens when you get into a rush, or you copy and paste over an existing rs.eof with a new rs.eof, and forget to highlight everything that is needing to be replaced.
Resolve Issue
To resolve this issue.

<%
if rs.eof then
response.write"There are no records available"
end if
%>

As you can see, we only had to remove one of the .eof, and the code runs without issue.
