[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
I'm trying to get text files to load dynamically
from a path entered in the database. In a similar
fashion to the dynamic image path routine.

I have a server behaviour that reads a text file
but still requires a manual insertion of the path.

I'm not an ASPer but figure the Fields.Item in
the dynamic image I have set up should do it.

<img src="<%=(rscomp.Fields.Item("Image1").Value)%>"

the code for the text file link reads -

<%
PhysicalPath=Server.MapPath("companies/keysolve/text1.txt")
Set MyFileObject=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyTextFile=MyFileObject.OpenTextFile(PhysicalPath)
WHILE NOT MyTextFile.AtEndOfStream
Response.Write(MyTextFile.ReadLine)
WEND
MyTextFile.Close
%>

I presume inserting this
rscomp.Fields.Item("Description").Value

where rscomp is the recordset and description holds the text file
link, in to the ( ) below would be on the right track.

PhysicalPath=Server.MapPath("companies/keysolve/text1.txt")

Is Value necessary ? To save me sweating over it for an hour or
so could somebody please let me know the syntax or if I'm off track
with this one.

tia,

Darren
