This error message has stopped me in my tracks...

Vbscript Interpretation error 'ASP 0185 : 800200004'

/contentMS/updating.asp,line 16

Does anyone know how i could resolve this problem?

Here is the code in my updating.asp file:

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Updating...</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot; />
</head>

<body>
<div align=&quot;left&quot;><font color=&quot;#000099&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot;><%
Dim Text
Text = request.form(&quot;NewsText&quot;)
Dim thisURL
filename=Server.MapPath(&quot;../contentMS/NewsReader/input.txt&quot;)
Set fs = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot;)
Set writefile = fs.OpenTextFile(filename, 2, True)
writefile.writeline(Text) // line 16
writefile.Close
set writefile=nothing
set fs=nothing

thisURL=&quot;response.redirect thisURL & &quot;
%>
Updating...</font></div>
</body>
</html>

The server that serves these page is running iASP (instant Asp) on Unix/linux machines. I am not having any trouble with the rest of the site.

Thank you for you time,

First thing I would do is check to make sure that &quot;text&quot; actually has a value > NULL

Well i've tryed the response.write and it outputs the text variable above the previous error message. So the variable does hold a value. This script worked on my testing server (xp Pro) but now just doesn't work on the hosting site. I can't find any help in the search engines so i am wondering if anyone knows!

Thanks,

Try Server.CreateObject instead of just CreateObject.

Make sure that your new IIS is set to &quot;allow parent paths&quot; which is something that caught me off guard when a site I developed was moved from IIS 5.0 to IIS 6.0.

does the directory where you are writing the files have write permission for the account being used?
