As for the error can you debug what value n has when you get
Invalid procedure call or argument
it might be that there is something wrong with that argument.
I couldn't read out "n" -- it was always showing as an empty string,
but there were some other oddities attached to it I can barely describe!
Thanks for the help to you and others. I finally managed to find
another script to workaround this critical portion of my old script
(which worked for years):
Public Sub SaveToDisk(sPat h)
Dim oFS, oFile
Dim nIndex
If sPath = "" Or FileName = "" Then Exit Sub
If Mid(sPath, Len(sPath)) <> "\" Then sPath = sPath & "\"
Set oFS = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .FileSystemObje ct")
If Not oFS.FolderExist s(sPath) Then Exit Sub
Set oFile = oFS.CreateTextF ile(sPath & FileName, true)
oFile.Write BinaryToString( FileData) <--- this was the error line
oFile.Close
End Sub
Public Sub SaveToDatabase( ByRef oField)
If LenB(FileData) = 0 Then Exit Sub
If IsObject(oField ) Then
oField.AppendCh unk FileData
End If
End Sub
