Message #1 by "sathish r" <sathish297@y...> on Thu, 15 Nov 2001 14:38:26 +0530
Hi ,

I'am trying to delete a text file residing at the server.



This is the detail:

----------------



1. The file "score.txt"  is not readonly

2. The directory in which the file is stored is also not read only.



This is my code:

----------------



set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")

set f=fso.opentextfile (server.mappath("score.txt"),8,false)



This is my Error:

-----------------



Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' 



Permission denied 





Could anyne fnd out the cause and the solution?



With Regards,

sathish kumar R.

I have had a similar problem trying to over-write a file - it turns out that

the system needs to be the owner of the file.  When I created and saved the

file manually, I was the "owner" of the file, and then even though the file

permissions were full control to everyone, I kept getting 'permission

denined'.  However, if the file was created by the system then there was no

problem.

You can't delete a file that is open. Try using GetFile instead of

OpenTextFile.
