ASP.net password system
I want this asp.net page to acess a text file out side of the website folder. I have permissions on the host. I used to do it in asp. The proublem showed up when I did it in ASP.net. The fallowing code.....
}var objFS : Object = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var objTextS : Object = objFS.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("../../database/wds.txt"),1,false);Gives me this error...

Try using an absolute path. You will have to ask the host for this.

That's weird. I've never had any problems with absolute paths.
