If I remove "K:\General\IT\Assets" it saves the file in the directory where the script is run. I want it saving to a remote locatin. What's wrong with the way I've set the path?

set outFile= FSobj.CreateTextFile("K:\General\IT\Assets" & strComputer &".txt", 2, True)
outFile.write strMsg
outFile.Close

you sure you have write access to the remote location? If so try creating the file on the local filesystem and if that works hmmm i am not to sure.

Try chdiring to the folder first. Or use the WSO IsFolder() function first.

I have write access to folder.
Cant figure out how to use WSO IsFolder() yet but am looking at.

Rory

Sorry, using the FSO:
All of the FSO's methods are relevant to the current folder (like DOS, VB is pointing at a folder at any moment in time). You need to ChDir("Path") to the folder first: this will ensure that if the file can't be created it won't default back to the script's home folder.
