I got this ASP script from
http://www.asp101.com/samples/counter.asp
and it works exactly how it should. But I am trying to get the count file it creates to be in a specific folder. By default the count file created is where the file doing the including is located. I am not sure what needs changing. This has come about because the host of the web server will not give write permission to a whole directory and only to a folder created for the counter file. Can anyone help?
