800A0005 Inv. Procedure Call or Argument on JUST MY COMPUTER

[George W. Jackson]

I copied the code below and saved it as a .vbs file. Can anyone tell me why
I would be getting an 800A0005 error while another XP Pro. and a 2000
machine can run it just fine? The error is "An Invalid Procedure Call or
Argument" and it's on line 40, char. 1 which is this line: "set fh1 =
oFileSys.CreateTextFile(tmp)"

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
