How to open a file in the current directory

Anonymous

Set fileSystem = Server.CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Set file = fileSystem.OpenTextFile( "config.xml", 1, False )

It's saying that 'config.xml' doesn't exist. How can I reference this file?
It's in the same directory as the file with the above code. Do I need to
build the path somehow?

Set file = fileSystem.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("config.xml "), 1, False)

This assumes Windows 2000 or later.

Server.MapPath("config.xml")
Otherwise the FSO object is usually based out of C:\<windows>\System32\
