>An end user reports the following error message when an FOPEN() is issued: "class definition SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEM OBJECT is not found". Does anyone know what is missing here? I believe this is a WIN95 machine. TIA

It's not fopen() but WSH. You've code somewhere like this

oFso = Createobject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")

You've to install WSH on this PC. Actually, you've to install it on every PC that doesn't have it. WSH is guaranted to be present only starting with Win2k.
