const forAppending = 8

pathf=server.mappath("err.txt")

set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

set fname=fs.CreateTextFile(pathf, forAppending, true)

fname.WriteLine("Hello World!")

change this

(Toggle Plain Text)

set fname=fs.CreateTextFile(pathf, forAppending, true)

to this

(Toggle Plain Text)

set fname=fs.OpenTextFile(pathf, forAppending, true)

Create does not use the append parameter. Open does.
