FileSystemObject CreateTextFile falling over

[Iain Bishop]

I am trying to execute the following function which performs four tests to
make sure the current environment is capable of uploading files. Test 1
completes ok, but test 2 results in the page hanging indefinitely. An error
number is not returned (it just hangs on the line: Set testFile =
fso.CreateTextFile(fileName, true) ). However when I execute test 2 using
VBScript from within an Excel macro it creates the text file without any
problem.
I have given IUSR & IWAM Administrator rights but this has not helped.

Does anyone please have any ideas?

Many Thanks
Iain

function TestEnvironment()
Dim fso, fileName, testFile, streamTest
TestEnvironment = ""

'Test 1
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not fso.FolderExists(uploadsDirVar) then
TestEnvironment = "<B>Folder " & uploadsDirVar & " does not
exist.</B><br>The value of your uploadsDirVar is incorrect. Open
AdminFileUpload.asp in an editor and change the value of uploadsDirVar to
the pathname of a directory with write permissions."

end if

'Test 2

on error resume next
Set testFile = fso.CreateTextFile(fileName, true)
