GetFile leads to no response from IIS while file exists 1

[PaulEijkman]

Hi,

I have a problem with GetFile. When I run the code below on IIS ( XP pro ) It will not respond nor generate an error message even when the file ABCtest.txt exists. If I omit the GetFile line and the following line the codes works fine and reports a path and existing file. Guess I am missing something .... Can you help me here ?

Paul.

Code:

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

strFilespec2rel = Server.MapPath("ABCtest.txt&quot
Response.Write strFilespec2rel &&quot;</br>&quot;
Response.Write &quot;err1&quot; & VbCRLF & Err.Description & &quot;</br>&quot;


If (objFSO.FileExists(strFilespec2rel)) Then
strMsg = strFilespec2rel & &quot; exists!!.&quot;
Else
strMsg = strFilespec2rel & &quot; doesn't exist.&quot;
End If
Response.Write strMsg & &quot;</br>&quot;
Response.Write &quot;err2&quot; & VbCRLF & Err.Description & &quot;</br>&quot;

Set myFile = objFSO.GetFile(strFilespec2rel)
strDate= myFile.DateCreated
Response.Write strDate &&quot;</br>&quot;
Response.Write &quot;err3&quot; & VbCRLF & Err.Description & &quot;</br>&quot;

Set objFSO = Nothing

After a lot of hours this newbee found out why IIS was silence ( no error messages ) while trying to run a simple script.

The Anti-Virus program ( I use Norton ) on the station where IIS is running causes this phenomenon. After switching the script-blockage off all scripts work fine.

It still surprises me:
1. There is no error message saying: unable to run scripts.
2. The AV software permits the use of FileExists but not the use of GetFile.

Nevertheless Case closed
