Hi all,

In the most recent page that I have made, I require the use of the Scripting.FileSystemObject object. But whenever I try to declare as the following

Dim fs
Set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

I get a ClassFactory error.

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x80040111)
ClassFactory cannot supply requested class

I thought by some weird course of events it might just be the way I am using it, but I tried an exact copy of other peoples code and I get the same error.

Any help would be appreciated

What OS and server are you testing this on ?

I think this is a permissions issue. IIRC, it has to do with your site not being able to get permission to use various objects.

I ran into it once about 5 years ago and my host had to do something like this, but this was a whiiiiiiiile ago so I don't remember exactly what.

Are you on a Windows Server? Or is it an *Nix based server running Sun's ASP platform?
