Author Measuring File Sizes
Griff

2005-06-10, 3:55 pm

I've written an ASP file that queries a database and gets the full path to a
database file, e.g.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\myDatabase.mdf"

I've then used the Scripting.FileSystemObject to identify the size of the
file.

oFSO.GetFile(sPath).Size

It claims that the file does not exist....(when it definitely does!)

I wondered whether this was to do with spaces in the file path, but I've
proved that that is not the case.

The EXACT code copied into a VB exe works fine.

What's going on?

Thanks

Griff

What user is IIS/ASP running under? It may not have permission to the
file, or to the FSO object. Try some different tests with that and see
what happens.
