Creating text file on different server

[jayplus707]

I need some help!!!

I have my application on some server, but I would really like to create the file on my machine. My machine has a shared folder that gives everyone read/write permissions. Is it possible? Thanks!!

yes. on your project, add reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime.

Try this.

Dim objTextFile As New FileSystemObject

objTextFile.CreateTextFile (&quot;\\<target_machine>\<share_name>\<filename.txt>&quot


where:
target_machine = your PC
share_name = the folder that will contain the text file
filename.txt = your text file

work fine if you use the Universal Naming Convension (\\my_server\my_shared_folder)
