Hmmn, thanks for the tip, and you weren't stating the obvious as I hadn't read up on creating objects from asp pages. However, it still doesn't fix my problem.
I've experimented a bit more and I've made a valid xml file and stored it in my virtual directory. If i reference it from my asp page using a real disc path eg c:\vdirectory\file.wma it successfully reads the file into the DOMdocument object. BUT If i reference it fro my asp page using an http reference path eg http://localhost/jukebox/file.wma it successfully reads the file into the DOMdocument object. (it still reads ok from vb script in either case). I conclude that it has to be related to permissions or security. I'm using IIS for my web server and I'm running windows XP on a home network basis Any other ideas? thanks very much for your help by the way ! -- mickweight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mickweight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7618 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
