    Beginner Question.

    I've just started to try and understand ASP.
    ASP doesn't work when I upload to my NTL webspace, so I signed up for
    free AST enabled webspace at:


    This works fine with simple ASP "hello world" code:

    ............... ............... ...
    <%
    response.write( "Hello World!")
    %>
    ............... ............... ..


    But when I try this

    ............... ............... .
    <%
    Dim objFSO
    Set objFSO = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .FileSystemObje ct")
    Set objFSO = Nothing
    %>
    ............... ............... ....

    It gives this error:
    ............... ............... ............... .........
    Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
    Server.CreateOb ject Failed
    /tonyjeffs2/test/test4.asp, line 8
    Invalid ProgID. For additional information specific to this message
    please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at:
    http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.
    ............... ............... ............... ......

    Reading the microsoft site, I get the idea that it is the way the
    server is set up, rather than my code. Is that correct?

    Thanks
    Tony

    Re: Beginner Question.

    have you asked the host?
    Sounds like you dont have permissions to the FSO objects

      You can't do it with that host. Have you tried brinkster? I think you can do
      it with that.
