objFSO.CreateTextFile("textfile.txt")

Jay Davi #1 / 7	objFSO.CreateTextFile("textfile.txt") This is probably a simple question, but I've yet to find the answer. I have a script that pulls a recordset and then writes the recordset to a textfile. My problem, is in specifying where to write the text file. I thought this would be simple. Not so. With the following code Set infoTextStream = objFSO.CreateTextFile("txtFile.txt", True) the text file is written to c:\winnt\system32 But if I try ("/rootdirectory/someotherdirectory/someotherdirectory/txtFile.txt") It advises that the path doesn't exist. How do I specify the correct path? Jay

Werner Adolp #4 / 7	objFSO.CreateTextFile("textfile.txt") How about wscript.scriptfullname and wscript.scriptname which provide path+filename and filename so you can easily get the path of the script. Werner
