Hi All, I have the following code to generate a text file from Client side application. I changed my IE security to low ... so I won't get Error:"Automation server can't create object" ... however, I can't seem to find the file I created. I don't know what's wrong even though I tried to change the directory path to "http:\localhost\..." and it still doesn't work. Please help.

===============================

.....

<input id="btnUpdate" type="button" value="Update book info" onclick="updateBookInfo()"></input>

.....

function updateBookInfo()
    {
         createOrReplaceElement("Title", txtTitle.value, docBook.documentElement);
         createOrReplaceElement("Publisher", txtPublisher.value, docBook.documentElement);
         createOrReplaceElement("PubDate", txtPubDate.value, docBook.documentElement);
         createOrReplaceElement("Abstract", txtAbstract.value, docBook.documentElement);
         createOrReplaceElement("Pages", txtPages.value, docBook.documentElement);
         createOrReplaceElement("ISBN", txtISBN.value, docBook.documentElement);
         createOrReplaceElement("Price", txtPrice.value, docBook.documentElement);

         renderElements();
         addToFile();
    }

.....

function addToFile()
   {
           var fso;
           var tf;
           var fi;

       fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
       tf = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XML\Book\Ch apter5_ClientSide\book.txt", true);
       // Write a line with a newline character.
       tf.WriteLine("Testing 1, 2, 3.") ;
       // Write three newline characters to the file.
       tf.WriteBlankLines(3) ;
       // Write a line.
       tf.Write ("This is a test.");
       tf.Close();
   }

....

Escape the backslashes: If you're going to save an XML file then you can use the save method, it needs the same level of secrity as the FileSystemObject.
