error uploading a file

Hi everyone, I’m getting the following error uploading a file with asp. I’m using the code I downloaded from uploadasp.zip. I don’t know who wrote it so I can’t give credit.
I've checked my local dev box here and I do infact have the correct directory permissions as far as I can tell.

Mike

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'
Invalid procedure call or argument
/administration/DBupload/upload.asp, line 136

The code:

Public Sub SaveToDisk(sPath)
		Dim oFS, oFile
		Dim nIndex
	
		If sPath = "" Or FileName = "" Then Exit Sub
		If Mid(sPath, Len(sPath)) <> "\" Then sPath = sPath & "\"
	
		Set oFS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
		If Not oFS.FolderExists(sPath) Then Exit Sub
		
		Set oFile = oFS.CreateTextFile(sPath & FileName, True)
		
		For nIndex = 1 to LenB(FileData)
		    oFile.Write Chr(AscB(MidB(FileData,nIndex,1)))	<-- Line 136
		Next

		oFile.Close
	End Sub

Most likely a problem with the file path... or the routine itself will never work. While a lot people use DLLs to process ASP uploads, it can be done using pure ASP, but the routines are much more complex than what your script suggests.

problem fixed by replacing the script with one that actually works.
