Hello I want to be able to create and read a file. I don't want to specify an absolute path, but rather a path releative to my website (I guess preferable in \app_data)but Iam not sure what to specify in the fileopen call. I have tried ".\app_data\filename.txt" but that does not seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike
You can use server.mappath function eg. if you want to create file under \app_data directory, you would use server.mappath('/app_data'). Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
