[NinjaTurtle]

dear,

i found that my OS cannot run this ASP code:
set f= fso.GetFolder(path)

the process run never end....

and i try to delete this line of code its run the rest of code, i guess my IIS without this Getfolder object.... how to install it? bcos i also found that few object i miss out in my OS, anyway to check this out?

im using Win XP, IIS 5.1
i try in NT Server, its work....
if cannot use Getfolder object, then what else i can use????

The getFolder method cannot be 'un-installed'. There is more likely some problem with the way you are using it.

What is the value of the variable 'path' you are passing to the getFolder method? If it doesn't exist on your webserver (i.e. the directory has never been created) you will get an error.

Perhaps the file/folder restrictions are set so that the anonymous internet user (this is probably the user who wants access) doesnt have access to the folders. If you set the correct user for the internet account it will probably work

but i hardcoded like this:

path = "c:\inetpub" 'i think this folder is default created by Win XP.
Set f = fso.GetFolder(path)

Hold on. NinjaTurtle... Are you running IIS on your computer now? Do you have Norton Anti-Virus installed and running?
If so, your FSO commponent will not run until you turn off Script Blocking.

Norton Anti-Virus, 2000 - 2003 must have Script Blocking turned off for the FSO commponent to work.

Was I right?
Because I have never used FSO.GetFolder() before, and I just assumed this was the problem.
