(Newbie Question): GetFolder & FileSystemObject on Development PC

[The Frog]

Hi all,

I am developing my website in HTML & ASP using VBScript. Being new to the MS
world I am having a little difficulties getting iis running correctly on my
development PC.

My development PC is running Windows XP with iis the same as the remote
production server.


I am using the following code:

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(strPath))

to try and get a hold on the folder (happens to be called Test in this
case). This works fine on a remote server but for some reason fails on my
development pc. On the development PC it just appears to keep loading with
the MS flag waving in the upper corner.

Sorry that is the only details I have. Any suggestions would be really
appreciated.

Might help if you mentioned why your wanting to errr.... get the folder in
the first place?, and what exactly is going on (i.e. any error messages?)

Additionally, have you tried doing a response.write on the folder thats
being returned?

strPath = "test"
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(strPath))
Response.Write objFolder.Path
Response.End
