absolute vs. relative path

[Guest_imported]

Using the FSO I am trying to open a text file using a relative path and display it in my web page. I can do this with an absolute path with no problem. When I remove the absolute path and use a relative path from my current directory I get file not found.

Here is the code:

Dim objFSO, absPath, relPath
absPath = ""
relPath = "textFiles\101.txt"

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(relPath)
absPath = objFile.Path

Dim objTextStream, ProjDescFullText

Set objTextStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(absPath, 1)
ProjDescFullText = objTextStream.ReadAll

set objTextStream = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
Set objFile = Nothing

Any help would be appriciated.

I don't think it will let you use relative paths. Try using object.GetAbsolutePathName(pathspec) to get the absolute path from the relative path, then use this in the opentextfile method.
