"Type mismatch" error in JScript - newby question

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a simple text file that will allow a string of text to
be entered into it.

The script firstly creates the text file (which works well), but when I try
to then open that file for writing into it, I keep on getting a "type
mismatch" error. I'm very new to JScripting.

Here is the code:

<script language="JScript">

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var TheFile = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\\Test.txt", true); //creates the file,
and will overwrite if file already exists

var txtStream = fso.OpenTextFile(TheFile, 2, true); //opens the file for
writing
txtStream.WriteLine("Test Data to write");

</script>


Thanks very much for your help.
Karen
