Per Google:

The VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'CDate' at line 323 of /v8/handle_params.asp indicates that the CDate function is receiving a value that it cannot convert to a valid Date data type. This commonly happens in VBScript because it relies on the system's regional settings to interpret date formats. 
Here's a breakdown of the problem and potential solutions:
1. The Problem:
  • The CDate function is designed to convert a valid date and/or time expression into the Date data type.
  • The error occurs when the input provided to CDate cannot be recognized as a valid date based on the system's locale settings or when the input string itself is not in a recognizable date format.
  • For example, CDate("04122012") will result in a type mismatch error because it lacks the necessary delimiters between the month, day, and year. 
2. Potential Solutions:
  • Ensure the date string includes delimiters: Make sure the date string you're passing to CDate includes delimiters like hyphens or slashes to separate the month, day, and year components. For instance, instead of CDate("04122012"), use CDate("04-12-2012") or CDate("04/12/2012").
  • Use an unambiguous date format: To avoid issues with locale settings, use the yyyy/mm/dd format, which is less likely to be misinterpreted.
  • Validate input with IsDate(): Before using CDate, use the IsDate() function to check if the input string can be converted to a valid date. This can help prevent the error from occurring in the first place.
  • Use DateSerial() instead of CDate(): If the date format is causing problems due to locale settings, consider using DateSerial() to construct the date from individual year, month, and day components.
  • Address adNumeric field types: If the error occurs when working with database fields of type adNumeric (131), convert the field to a valid numeric type using CDbl() or CInt() before using CDate or other functions.
  • Examine the value being passed to CDate: Debug the code to see what value is being passed to the CDate function at line 323. You can use error handling techniques or logging to inspect the value.
  • Check regional date settings: Ensure that your system's regional date settings are consistent with the date format being used in the VBScript. 
In summary, carefully examine the data being passed to the CDate function at line 323 of /v8/handle_params.asp to ensure it is in a valid format recognized by CDate and the system's locale settings. You can use debugging techniques or error handling to identify the specific value causing the issue.

Hi Russell, I'm getting the same issue when using  the "View Stats" button. Isn't this a tech issue or for programming not a person creating their website? My Stats were available right along until yesterday and now this message of VBScript error. there is no area to examine that I can find. thank you for your help. Donna

No I haven't called them yet, I figured I'd wait till the Holiday was over. On my webiste manager, I press a button and it takes me to edit, I press another and it shows me the published site. the View Stats is another button I press which shows a lot of the traffic statistics from daily to monthy visits and a slew of other ifo. I always thought I was supposed to ask in this area first before phoning support. thank you
