Please look at my code!

I'm sure it's just a dumb mistake but I cannot see it (hmm..what does that make me then?!)

Anyway, I'm making a guestbook app that uses a text file, not a database.

My first form is called addentry.htm - It has 4 fields : Name, Email, URL and Comment. It then Posts to an ASP page called Submit. asp. This is where I am getting the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A003E)
Input past end of file

Here is the code for Submit.ASP:

<% 

Option Explicit 
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 

  Dim objFS, objFile, entries, textstream
  Dim name, email,url, comment, signed

'read guestbook entries into textstream
  Set objFS = Server.CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  set objFile = objFS.GetFile(server.mappath("entries.dat"))
  set textstream = objFile.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, -2)
  entries = textstream.ReadAll
  textstream.close

'read data entered into form
  name = Request.Form("name")
  email = Request.Form("email")
  url = Request.Form("url")
  comment = Request.Form("comment")
 signed = FormatDateTime(Date, 1) & " " & Time

objFile.WriteLine("<font face=Verdana size=2>" & comment & "<p>")

  'print name if entered
  if Not(name = "") then objFile.WriteLine(name & "<br> ")

  'print URL if entered
  if Not(url = "") then objFile.WriteLine(url & "<Br> ")

  'print email if entered
  if Not(email = "") then objFile.WriteLine(email & "<Br> ")

  'print date signed
  objFile.WriteLine("- " & signed & "</font>")
  
  

  objFile.WriteLine(entries)
'close file
  objFile.close
  response.redirect ("guestbook.asp") 
  %>

Is the error becuase I'm trying to add a date/time field?
Thanks,

CG

Anybody? Please?

Lo there,

Not sure if this will help or not, just looked like you were using a odd way of finding and opening the files etc.

following may work, havent tested it just edited the code u typed.

<%
Option Explicit 
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 

  Dim objFS, objFile, entries, textstream
  Dim name, email,url, comment, signed

'read guestbook entries into textstream
  Set objFS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  objFile = Server.MapPath("entries.dat")
  Set textstream = objFS.OpenTextFile(objFile, ForReading)
  entries = textstream.ReadAll
  textstream.Close
  Set textstream = Nothing

'read data entered into form
  name = Request.Form("name")
  email = Request.Form("email")
  url = Request.Form("url")
  comment = Request.Form("comment")
 signed = FormatDateTime(Date, 1) & " " & Time

  Set textstream = objFS.CreateTextFile(objFile, 1)
  textstream.WriteLine("<font face=Verdana size=2>" & comment & "<p>")

  'print name if entered
  if Not(name = "") then textstream.WriteLine(name & "<br> ")

  'print URL if entered
  if Not(url = "") then textstream.WriteLine(url & "<Br> ")

  'print email if entered
  if Not(email = "") then textstream.WriteLine(email & "<Br> ")

  'print date signed
  textstream.WriteLine("- " & signed & "</font>")
  textstream.Write(entries)
  textstream.Close
  Set textstream = Nothing
  Set objFS = Nothing

  response.redirect ("guestbook.asp") 
%>
