I have used the following code to read a text files in ASP on the web:

Dim fs
set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim stream
Set stream = fs.OpenTextFile("filename",1)

Wanting to do some debugging of a large ASP page on the localhost, I 
inserted the same code, but it will not run. All other ASP code works 
fine, but the "set stream..." line locks the system until timeout. I am 
using Windows 2000 Professional IIS. 

Any idea what I'm missing?
