Okay, now I'm getting this error:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied
/content_manage/text_edit/display_message.asp, line 67

Line 67 being:
OutStream=FileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("includes/photo1.html"),2,
TRUE)

So, now I must admit that I don't know how to change the permissions on that
file.  :-(
