appending to a textfile

[maboo]

i want to append to a text file. so far it only overwrites it.
i think it has something to do with the second paramater
in the createtextfile line.
can someone help me?
set outFile = Server.CreateObject"Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set outFileText = outFile.CreateTextFile(filename,8,true)
outFileText.writeline "text
outFileText.close
set outFileText = nothing
set outFile = nothing

thanks in advance
maboo

try this


set outFile = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set outFileText = outFile.CreateTextFile(filename,ForAppending,true)
outFileText.writeline "text"
outFileText.close
set outFileText = nothing
set outFile = nothing

in order for the ForAppending to be recognised, you need the following line to be added to the page (or to an include file that it refers to)

<!-- METADATA TYPE=&quot;typelib&quot; FILE=&quot;C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll&quot; -->

obviously change the path to reflect the actual path on the server.

hope this helps Tony

thanks fester.
i went in a different direction.
in changed the createtextfile to opentextfile
and it worked.
