ASP FAQ Tutorials :: Classic ASP 1.0 :: Files/Directories & FSO :: Why do I get 800A0BBC errors?


Why do I get 800A0BBC errors?

If you are using the ADODB.Stream object to write files out to the filesystem (either by streaming them from a database, or receiving them from a file upload), you may have seen this error: 
 
ADODB.Stream error '800a0bbc' 
Write to file failed.
 
This error can occur if IUSR_MachineName lacks appropriate permissions on the folder where you are writing the file; if the folder you are trying to write to does not exist; if you are trying to write to a folder on Windows XP or greater, that has disk quota management enabled and has met or exceeded its limit; or, if the file you are trying to write already exists. 
 
To fix the IUSR_MachineName permissions issue, make sure Windows knows that IUSR should be able to read/write/modify within that folder (or choose a different folder). 
 
To fix the missing folder issue, you can use FileSystemObject's FolderExists() method; if the folder doesn't exist, you can create it or choose a different folder. 
 
To fix the quota issue, you have a variety of options: disable quota management, increase this quota setting, delete some files, save the files to a different location, ... 
 
To fix the pre-existing file issue, you can use FileSystemObject's FileExists() method; if the file you are trying to save already exists, you can either return a graceful error message to the user, or save the file with a different name.
