    <p>I'm trying to simply write to a text file for later use data collected from input elements on various pages. Admittedly I am likely missing the obvious, but of the variations I have tried and even some of the sample code I have found in many examples I always get the same error.</p> <p><strong>Code:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;% Dim currentDirectoryPath, outFile, objFSO, objTextStream Const fsoForWriting = 2 'Get and assign current directory path currentDirectoryPath = Server.MapPath(".") 'Assign file name to be used outFile = "\accdata.txt\" Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Open the text file Set objTextStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(currentDirectoryPath &amp; outFile, fsoForWriting, True) 'Write new line to text file objTextStream.WriteLine "output this as one line of text" 'Close the file and clean up objTextStream.Close Set objTextStream = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing %&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Result:</strong></p> <p>Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0034'</p> <p>Bad file name or number</p> <p>/asp/accounting/datacollect.asp, line 23 </p> <p>(Line 23 of the code is:)</p> <pre><code>Set objTextStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(currentDirectoryPath &amp; outFile, fsoForWriting, True) </code></pre> <p>This is far from being my first language and thus I don't posses a heap load of experience with it so any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.</p>

    1. COIf this is VB.NET then you should be using the .NET `FileStream` class. If this is classic ASP then fix your tags.

    3. COHi Mark.. An earlier problem I encountered was: "Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' - Permission denied". The solution I found to this was to terminate the file name with a backslash.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
