Scheduled task script - concurrent text file access

[iwebster]

I am trying to run a script on several users machines at the same time to append a log file with some user data.

I have written some code using the filesystemobject, which appears to work, but sometimes log entries are missing. I am assuming that there are no locks on the logfile when multiple processes are running.

Can anyone help as to how to evercome this, so that I do not lose any data.

Thanks

Perhaps for each line to write, do the whole sequence of Open for Appending, WriteLine, Close.

Hope This Help, PH.

If this really becomes a problem, you may need to maintain your logs in a DB.
