Do i need a close at the end of this code???

[Support123]

Hi, I just want to know if it would be advised to put the following at the end of this code: Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objOutFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("\\jhbtest01\e$\SARS\Script\FileWithFilePath\FileNameFormA.txt", 2, True) strLine = FileName objOutFile.WriteLine strLine Should i add this at the end: objOutFile.Close AND is this the right way of doing the close section??? (it is working without it but i get error... so it works the first time round but fails second time round... without me seeing the error.)... Oh yeah... this bit of code is in a javascript file that i call through VB.Net using the Shell()

Yeah, that would probably be a good idea.

This is probably because you didn't close the file and are trying to open it again.

No, it's not. This is code snippet you posted is VBScript.

I had a java question too (i am working on a ssis project and asp.net project so i messed up the question). i appologize and thank you for the info. I will add the objOutFile.Close() section to the VBSript. (i dont know what the error is exactly... it is not displaying anything of use... it is saying that i have issues in one of my script files (vb.net) in the ssis package but it is working fine through visual studio... Only a problem when it is ran through a job in sql, so i thought that maybe the VBScript needed to be tweeked a bit.) I will test to see if it works. Thank you for your time.
