Subject: FileSystemObject problem...
Posted By: swampwrecker Post Date: 10/11/2004 9:52:13 AM
I am having a problem with the FileSystemObject running on my machine.  I'm using WinXp's IIS on a P3 650mhz laptop.  Whenever I create an instance of the FileSystemObject, the page just sits there loading.  It doesn't time out, it doesn't error out, it just sits there loading.  All I have to do is set an object equal to CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") and the page is doomed.  I don't have to do anything more then that.  My page could be one line <% Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")%>.

I've been coding ASP for about 5 years and using the FileSystemObject for almost as long and have never encountered this problem before.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you,

-Michael

Did you forget Server all those times or just this time? How about trying that now?
<% Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")%>
Cheers!

With the FileSystem Object,there is no need for the Server. portion, CreateObject works just fine.

Following Microsoft's example, they don't use it either: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;300982

The code works fine live on IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 as well as on IIS 4.0 on Windows NT 4 and PWS on Windows 98SE.  I thought maybe there was something quirky with the version of IIS on WinXP.

Just to satisfy your post, adding the Server. doesn't produce results.

Thanks,
