Using .net in aspx page with following code, and get a write error on the
website, but everything works fine on the development machine.
----- code ----
Dim counter As String = CType(logcount, String)
Dim fileName As String = mPath + mFileName
Dim Fs As System.IO.FileStream = New System.IO.FileStream(fileName,
IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, IO.FileAccess.Write)

Try
Dim Sw As System.IO.StreamWriter = New
System.IO.StreamWriter(Fs)
Sw.Write(counter)
Sw.Flush()
Sw.Close()

-- error page returned from website ----

Normally web sites run under the ASPNET user account.
It appears that this account does not have write privileges to the file path
you've specified.
 
Thanks Steve
