I once did something like this when I had to do a style sheet on-the-fly so to speak...

Code:

<%
Sub CreateAFile(fn)

   Dim fso, MyFile
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile(Server.Mappath(fn), True)
   MyFile.Close

End Sub

Sub makeStyleSheet(nameCSS)

   Dim filename
   filename = nameCSS

   CreateAFile(filename)

   Dim fso, f
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.Mappath(filename), 2)

   f.WriteLine "A { color:#C0C0C0; }"
   f.WriteLine "A:link { text-decoration: none; }"
   f.WriteLine "A:active { text-decoration: none; }"
   f.WriteLine "A:visited { text-decoration: none; }"

   f.Close

End Sub
%>

It can probably help you! I didn't install anything.

Where in Egypt are you from I have just been to Cairo and Hurghada, nice... :)

Hope it helps

Hmmm, this sounds like a good old Antivirus problem again.....

Are you running programs like Norton Antivirus or McAfee Antivirus?
If so, check the options dialog for a feature called Script Blocking or something similar. This option blocks .vbs scripts and the FileSystemObject. If this seems to be the problem, it's up to you wether you want to sacrifice some security for the features of the FSO.

Once you disable this feature, you can create objects of type Scripting.FileSystemObject. The FSO is installed on recent Windows installations by default.

Cheers,

Imar
