Scripting.FileSystemObject stopped working

[ardan]

Hi All,

I have a problem that I just cannot figure out, hope someone has an idea... I use IIS with xp pro for in office work. I have an asp page that display PO images, I used the following code to display a image if it is there. Any Ideas why it doesn't work???

<%dim filesys
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("/images2/" & (RS.Fields.Item("Ponumber").Value) & "2.jpg") Then
Response.write "<H3></h3>"
Response.Write("Page 2")%>
<p><img src=<%=picvar2%></p><br>
<%End If%>

* picvar2 contains full path to image (tested it works)
* /images2/ is visible from the web site..
Outside the if ("/images2/" & (RS.Fields.Item("Ponumber").Value) & "2.jpg") works
and Outsite the if <img src=<%=picvar2%> Works


Short version the IF command just doesn't work, no error it just iqnores the entire if statment...

any ideas???

Thanks,

Ardan

Where is /images2/ exactly located?

sorry, I forgot to state that. /images2/ is located on the same computer as IIS, it is a different drive "d:\images\". The web server can see images2 because is I put in IP/images2 it displays the directory.

Could this be some kind of permissions problem??

Thanks,

FSO doesn't work with web paths, only drive paths. That said, "/images2/" is very probably assumed as "c:\images2\" (c = current drive).

Can you use server.MapPath() to convert web to drive path?
