just found this, enjoy:Still one more possibility is that you have unexpected characters in an FSO writeline call. I recently came across this when using MSXML to write out contents of dynamic ASP files into static HTML files. I had this: <% set fs = fso.CreateTextFile("blat.htm", true) fs.writeline xmlHTML %> When I ran this code, I received the above error. When I added the unicode format designator, as follows, everything worked fine: <% set fs = fso.CreateTextFile("blat.htm", true, -1) fs.writeline xmlHTML %>
