When doing a response.write you will sometimes add in one of more unnessary & ampersand's into your equation.
Details
Issue #1:
When writing out your response.write or similar code, you may write out to many ampersands into your equation.

Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A03EA)

Response.Write(&"("&MyFolder&")"&)

Recreate Issue
To recreate this issue.
Issue #1:
<%
=&"("&MyFolder&")"&
%>

Issue #2:
<%
strid = = rsUser("ID")
%>
Resolve Issue
To correct this issue
Issue #1:
<%
=("&MyFolder&")
%>

(or)
<%
=MyFolder
%>

As you can see, we removed the beginning and ending ampersand from the string.

Issue #2:
<%
strid = rsUser("ID")
%>

As you can see, we have removed the extra = sign from the variable creation.
