Problems with client-side FileSystemObject

[MarcusH]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the client-side javascript code below in order to get the size of a file on the client machine, but it keeps coming up with
'Automation server can't create object'.

It fails on the 'fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"' line.

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function(filespec){
var fso, f, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot;
f = fso.GetFolder(filespec);
s = f.Name + &quot; uses &quot; + f.size + &quot; bytes.&quot;;
alert(s);
}
</script>

Any help on this would be much appreciaited.
Marcus

Hi,

I should have given my function a name. Just an error when I typed it into the forum. This is not the problem.
