Hi,
Im tring to calculate the percentage value of items in a dictionary against a total portalCount.
My sub below works to : response.write("percentages calclulated")
but beyond that I am getting a server error.
Could someone please eye over the code to see what done wrong. I am assuming it is related to referencing 2 dictionaries maybe.

this sub is called from another sub whereby the dictionary stat is defined so I havnt passed it to this sub. (when i do anyway it errors)

sub getPercents(portalCount)  
     set stat = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
     for i = 0 To stat.Count -1
	     perCent = (stat.item(i)/portalCount) * 100
	     perCentDictionary.Add elem,perCent	 
	 next	
	 response.write("percentages calclulated")
	 
	 For Each elem In perCentDictionary
	     response.write(elem)
		 response.write(",")
		 response.write(perCentDictionary(elem)) 
		 response.write("<br/>")
	 next	
end sub

1/ Where is perCentDictionary created ?

2/ what is the error ?

ok ive sorted this by simplifying things. thanks though for you input.
