VB Scripting error in guestbook Please help

[royjacob]

I have made this guestbook using as an ASP file using VBScript. Basically what it does is get form values, append it into a text file and filnnaly display the textfile. However it is giving me an error. HERE is my code

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%Dim strfile
  strFile = Server.MapPath("guestbook.txt")
  
  if Request.Form.Count = 0 then
%>
  
<H3>Sign Our Guestbook:</H3>
	<FORM ACTION="guestbook.asp" METHOD="post">
	<TABLE>
		<TR>
		<TD ALIGN="right"><B>Name:</B></TD>
		<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE="15"></INPUT></TD>
		</TR>
		<TR>
		<TD ALIGN="right"><B>Comment:</B></TD>
		<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="comment" SIZE="35"></INPUT></TD>
		</TR>
	</TABLE>
	<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Sign Guestbook!"></INPUT>
	</FORM>

	<BR>

	<H3>Today's Comments:</H3>
	
	<!--#INCLUDE FILE="guestbook.txt"-->

<% Else
   Dim fso 
   Dim objFile
   
   Set fso     = Server.CreateObject_("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   
  Set objFile = fso.OpenTextFile_(strFile,ForAppending,8,TristateTrue)
   
   objFile.Write Request.Form("name")
   objFile.Close
   Set objFile = Nothing
   Set fso = Nothing
   End if
   %>

And this is the error message

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 80070057' 

Server.CreateObject Failed

make sure you have write permissions to the folder your writing to..

by the way,, i wouldnt' use .txt files to store guestbooks
its better to use a db, like access..

[royjacob]

What do you mean by write permissions and how do i do it?
