object required error for Scripting.FileSystemObject

[puchku]

am getting runtime error 424-object required on the bold line of following code:

****Dim fs, fname
Set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fname = fs.CreateTextFile("D:\vb\myfile.txt", True)
fname.WriteLine ("something")
fname.Close
Set fname = Nothing
Set fs = Nothing*****

which object can possibly be required?any help?
thank you in advance...

Is this ASP code or VB6?

If it is VB6 then I would advise not using the FSO at all. There is no need for it, the built in functions for file I/O work much better and take fewer resources.

As for the object message, clearly it is referring to the FSO

If you get the Object required error, I'd think that the name "Server" is not defined.
Find out which object the name Server refers to. Maybe this object is not available within the scope of your code.

That is why I asked if it was ASP. Sever.CreateObject would be the common method when writing VB script as part of an ASP page but would not be used in a VB6 app.

Found this code in ASP file system tutorial and added it to a vb 6.0 program to write a text file during runtime.i now add the references --> microsoft scripting runtime, microsoft scriptlet library and microsoft script control.And changed the bold line into:

Set fs = New FileSystemObject

now its working....no error...

thank you so much for your response....

Fine. That's what I thought.
I dont know much about ASP, but when creation of an object fails you get a different error like "cannot create object".
