Reading File From Server

[Arpan]

Consider the following code snippet:

<%
Dim objFSO,objOpenFile,strPath

strPath=Server.MapPath("ADList1.txt")
Set objFSO=Server.CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")
Set objOpenFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath,1)
Do While Not objOpenFile.AtEndOfStream
Response.Write(objOpenFile.ReadLine() & "<br>")
Loop
objOpenFile.Close
Set objOpenFile=Nothing
Set objFSO=Nothing
%>

When I try to execute the above code, the code never gets executed. Neither
am I shown a script timeout error. After a lot of investigations, I
concluded that the code is not getting executed due to the presence of

Set objOpenFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath,1)

If I comment line nos. 3 to 8, then the code gets executed but as expected
without any output. Is this happening because of some permission which has
not been given to IIS 5.0? If so, what is it? I am working on Windows 2000
Professional.

Thanks,

Arpan

Thanks Ray & Bob for the URL. That was exactly the reason why I was having
this problem (I have been trying to get the solution since last 2
days.......tried out everything in IIS but without any results).

Thanks to Tom as well!!!

Once again, many many thanks to you three.
