Passing string to Server.MapPath - ASP / Active Server Pages

Jake

How can I pass the results of a form field submitted to this statement
below?

<%
Set MyFileObj = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'### This Works
'###Set MyTextFile = MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("body.txt"))
'### This Doesnt work
Set MyTextFile = MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(" &
request.form("MyFileName") & "))

WHILE NOT MyTextFile.AtEndOfStream
Response.Write(MyTextFile.ReadLine & Chr(10))
WEND
MyTextFile.Close
%>
Thanks in advance!

strTemp = Request.Form("MyFileName")

Set MyTextFile = MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(strTemp))

Or

Set MyTextFile =
MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(Request.Form ("MyFileName")))
