URLEncode Error with Search Page on 2003 Server

I noticed recently that my search page on a Windows 2003 server comes back with some URLEncode errors when running a search of the catalog.

More specifically here is the error.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'URLEncode'

/cs/query.asp, line 347

Here is the code it is refrencing

Code:

<%
    ' Construct the URL for hit highlighting
			WebHitsQuery = "CiWebHitsFile=" & Server.URLEncode( RS("vpath") )
			WebHitsQuery = WebHitsQuery & "&CiRestriction=" & Server.URLEncode( Q.Query )
			WebHitsQuery = WebHitsQuery & "&CiBeginHilite=" & Server.URLEncode( "<strong class=Hit>" )
			WebHitsQuery = WebHitsQuery & "&CiEndHilite=" & Server.URLEncode( "</strong>" )
			WebHitsQuery = WebHitsQuery & "&CiUserParam3=" & QueryForm
'	        WebHitsQuery = WebHitsQuery & "&CiLocale=" & Q.LocaleID
 %>

If I type in 04-080 in the search criteria one server (windows 2000) returns the results while the other (2003) returns a VBscript error URL Encode.

Are there some differences between a 2000 server and 2003 server I need to know about?

Thanks

Don't know if this helps at all but at first glance I would think that Server.URLEncode() doesn't understand what Q.Query is.
