Resolved fso.OpenTextFile

Hello again,

Ok, clearly I was clueless (I am referring to my "SOMETHING" post). I am not quite as lost although I have no idea WHY the following Classic ASP script will not simply write the value of <input type="text" value="firstname" /> to a text file. Take this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<title>TextBox Process Test</title>

</head>
<body>
</br>
  <form action="FirstNameTest.asp" method="Post">
  First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" />
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
  <input type="reset" value="Clear" />
 
</body>
</html>

That is called FirstNamePage.asp. The following is FirstNameTest.asp:

THIS PART WORKS

<%
Option Explicit
Dim firstname
firstname = Request.Form("firstname")
response.write firstname

' If I add the following lines, the response.write still works:

Dim fso, txtfile, objFile

textfile = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\FolderName\FirstName.txt"
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' AS SOON AS I TRY TO OPEN THE TEXTFILE, I GET ERROR HTTP 500

Set objFile = fso.OpenTextFile(txtfile, 8, True)
objFile.WriteLine firstname
objFile.Close
Set objFile = nothing
Set fso = nothing

%>

Will someone PLEASE help me... pretty please :confused:
