inetserver asp general : 'object required' error using FileSystemObject
a folder: Dim fso, f, fl, s, fs Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFolder("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySite\subfolder") Set fs = f.Files For Each fl in fs s = fl.Name 'Object Required error occurs here! Response.Write(s) Next Set fso = Nothing The asp page returns the 'Object Required' error on the line, "s = fl.Name". Why? Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks
For what it is worth, I have run this as both a stand alone vbscript and as
an ASP page, and the only thing I changed was the path in the GetFolder command, and it worked fine for both. Both for a folder that did and didn't have contents. My only suggestions, are double check that you have the path correct and check that you have appropriate permissions to the folder. Also it might be worth running this script as a vbscript ie take the code, put it in a file called xxxx.vbs, change response.write(s) to msgbox s, save and run it by double clicking. This may help identify if it is a permissions problem.

your code works for me, may be something to do with the path you have
stated. Try: Dim fso, f, fl, s, fs Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("/subfolder")) Set fs = f.Files For Each fl in fs s = fl.Name Response.Write(s) Next Set fso = Nothing might help fix the problem....but here it seems to work. You may have other code in that file that is effecting this trouble line, in which case, something like http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2283 might be somewhere to point you in (it might not have any direct relevance. I would also recommend you choose better object names, I don't think the ones you have chosen help debug. Good luck.

i dont think you can do a server.MapPath with folders beginning with a " / "
try Set f = fso.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("subfolder/")) that usually works for me....... hope this helps......

Stuart,
Thanks for this link, although I had already found this page myself earlier. I've now solved the problem, and this link turned out to be relevant after all! It was solved when I cut and pasted my code into this newsgroup for further help. Suddenly the 'fl' variable showed up as 'f1' - a typo!!! My original code was written in Dreamweaver and the font they use for code looks EXACTLY the same for the lower case letter L and the digit One. So, your comment about object names was also relevant - but note that this code is taken verbatim from the Microsoft Help file for FileSystemObject (except for the typo)! Thanks everyone for the help! [quoted text, click to view] Stuart Palmer wrote:

<%Option Explicit%> would have prevented that.
