Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Dim fso, f,a
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
f.Write txtout.value & vbcrlf
f.Close
Set a = fso.GetFile("c:\testfile.txt")

First of all, ASP is server-side technology, making this group the wrong
place to get quick help with client-side questions. Since you are using
vbscript, you will get help quicker by posting to
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

That said, you are going to find that browser security has been locked down
these days. Code such as the bit you are using was easily abused by hackers
to perform malicious actions. Client-side script no longer has easy access
to a user's file system. It may work if you can persuade the user to put
your site into his Trusted Zone. Switching to a .hta file instead of .htm
will also enable this security to be bypassed. And lastly, you need to worry
about users running anti-virus programs that interfere with the use of
FileScriptingObject.

Any further questions about this should be directed to the more appropriate
group. There are people with more knowledge of these matters that are
regulars on the .scripting groups.
