invalid procedure call or argument error up vote 0 down vote favorite I have the below code..If I use the static strInputPath3 the code works fine but if I use the strInputPath3 the code errors out with an error invalid procedure call or argument..Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here strInputPath1 = "C:\test" & "\" & "css" & "\" & "main.css" strInputPath3 invalid procedure call or argument in qtp = "C:\test\css\main.css" Set txsInput1 = FSO.OpenTextFile(strInputPath1, 1) vbscript share|improve this question asked Jun 13 '13 at 17:19 user505210 47261632 1 That code works fine for me (as long as I create a Scripting.FileSystemObject for FSO). Did you maybe declare strInputPath1 as another type somewhere else? I don't see your Dim statements... you could include more code or a pastebin link. –Papasmile Jun 13 '13 at 17:41 thanks..got the fso named wrong –user505210 Jun 13 '13 at 17:45 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote If you feed something that VBScript can use as a string to .OpenTextFile, the method will try to open a file and perhaps throw a "file not found" error. >> strInputPath1 = "C:\test" & "\" & "css" & "\" & "main.css" >> WScript.Echo strInputPath1 >> set f = goFS.OpenTextFile(strInputPath1,1) >> C:\test\css\main.css Error Number: 76 Error Description: Path not found To get an "Invalid procedure call" error, you have to pass something sinister, e.g. an Empty value: >> strInputPath1 = Empty >> set f = goFS.OpenTextFile(strInputPath1,1) >> Error Number: 5 Error Description: Invalid procedure call or argument These facts make it highly probable that you

Solved VBScript Error: Invalid Procedure call or argument Posted on 2004-08-03 Programming Languages-Other Windows Batch 1 Verified Solution 4 Comments invalid procedure 8,027 Views Last Modified: 2012-06-22 Hi all, I was trying to run a simple vbscript, in which i open a text file for reading. I tried this simple script and it gives a runtime error 800A0005. It works fine when i replace OpenTextFile with CreateTextFile. So, does that mean i have an older version of the scripting engine or am I missing something. Dim filesys, invalid procedure call testfile Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set testfile= filesys.OpenTextFile("c:\somefile.txt",ForReading,True) testfile.WriteLine "Your text goes here." testfile.Close I have windows xp, vbscript version 5.6.

I was trying different things, so forgot to change it back to ForWriting. I get the same error. It gives an error at the third statement.
