    Unhappy

    i've been struggling to get this to work for about a wekk now. i bvelieve the ISP is set up properly so i don't really know what else to suspect other than my ASP script. the ASP is supposed tor receive variable sent from a text feild inb flash (using post) and then write them to one text file called rates.txt.
    here is the code; if anyone can tell me what is wrong i'd be most gratefull
    i fell conquered,
    pete
    <%

    ' global variables
    filepath = "C:/inetpub/mortgage/"
    filename = "rates.txt"


    ' open filesystem object
    Set FS = CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FileSystemObject")

    ' delete existing file
    if FS.fileExists(filepath & filename) = TRUE then
    FS.deleteFile(filepath & filename)
    end if

    ' create new file
    set MYFILE = FS.openTextFile(filepath & filename, 8, TRUE)

    MYFILE.writeLine request.FORM

    ' close and destroy objects
    MYFILE.Close
    set MYFILE = nothing
    set FS = nothing


    ' redirect the user to another section of the web site
    response.redirect "/test.html"

    %>

    The reason for not working is because the asp script is not getting the file rates.txt in the location.
    The exact location of the file may vary depending upon the server. To determine the exact physical path use the following ASP code
    filepath=Server.MapPath("rates.txt")

    For writing to the file use 2(for writing) as a constant rather than 8(for appending).
