I think ideally you should change permissions to give iusr full control over
the folder. If that's not possible then changing from
>> If objfs.FileExists(serverfilename) Then
>> debugwrite "deleting " & serverfilename
>> objfs.deletefile(serverfilename)
>> end if
>> Set objFile = objFS.CreateTextFile(serverfilename)
to just
Set objFile = objFS.CreateTextFile(serverfilename)
should work - remember we don't need to delete the file first as it will be
over-written by createtextfile. Deleting a file obviously requires more
permissions than writing to a file
