Is there any reason why this shouldn't work?

<%
set newsNAME=request.querystring("fileindex")
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If newsNAME <> "" And fs.FileExists("news.asp")=true Then
	set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("newsdocs/" & newsNAME & ".txt"),1)
Else
	set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("newsnotfound.txt"),1)
End If
%>

The problem: the code fragment fs.FileExists("news.asp")=true *ALWAYS* evaluates to false, so it always goes to the ELSE statement. And yes, "news.asp" exists in the same directory as the script itself, so that's not the problem. Anything else obvious that I've got wrong? Thanks.

All the examples I found online make it look like this should work. It didn't when I tried it on my brower, though.

I'm wondering if you net a .GetFile function in there to get news.asp "avialable" to be checked for existing or something. I don't know why it doesn't work, myself. I couldn't get it to find anything...

I'd try fully qualifying the path(Server.mappath if you need it).

Don't assume the runtime will inherit the path of the running script.
