 Hi,I am trying to delete an image in a folder on my own IIS (for the time being), when I run the following scripts the page takes several minutes to load and eventually IIS crashes.
here is the code I am using:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
var fso= Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"
 ;
;//collect the full file path
//this seems to be working OK as I get the message intended if the file is found
var file = Server.MapPath("\properties\\pop_images\\1.jpg"

//check if the file exist and delete if it does
if (fso.FileExists(file)==true)
{
fso.DeleteFile(file);
Response.Write('<p>file was found and has been deleted</P>');
}
else
{
Response.Write('Sorry this file does not exist');
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanking you,
Olivier
