Configuring these is like solving a Rubiks cube

Ok, working with a polling script. Can't get it to write to a file. Are there networks of sadistical programmers out there who write these things? Urgh!
Anybody else go through this?

Ya I go through it from time to time. It's either permissions of the file or directory or you are not really in the directory that you think you're working in. Add a line so the program tells you what dir it's working in before you do the write.

Oh yeah I been there just the other day. I was ready to hurl my monitor out of my window and hope a microsoft programmer was walking by. I couldn't even get the file to read, let alone write, with nothing more than the FileSystemObject which I have never had problems with. It would tell me the file exists, but just hang when it tried to read it. No error messages, changing the script timeout did nothing. Argh. In the end I spat it and used an access database because it worked.
