Status: offline 		Hi,

i am working on a project where i parse data from a MYSQL DB residing on a web server then write this data into an XML file on the server then use this XML file to create reports/Charts.

I had everything working on my local machine, but when i uploaded the files to the server the XML file wouldn't get updated.

i did use a combination of VBscript and Javascript.

Vbscript to create the file using the following:

   Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set objLogFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(server.mpapath(".") & "\data.xml", ForWriting, True)
  
  Then used a loop to write data into the objLogFIle etc...


and Javascripts in another HTML page to load the data into a report.

Can anyone help? how to use VBscript to write/modify a text  file on the server side? the code above is good only for client side... :)

Thanks,
mmcled

Status: offline 		Thank you for the reply, but the think is, we are not using  IIS or apache servers, but something created by National Instrument called G Web Server, and that is why I am limited to VB and Java scripts and maybe CGI. No ASP no PHP. :)



Any other ideas?

Thx

server.mpapath


means that you are using some server to host your script. That is what you need to have permissioned correctly.
