    Open a Notepad File (.html)

    Any reason not to just over write the whole file using the FileSystemObject? Check out the creating a new text file section here: http://www.wiseowl.co.uk/blog/s211/writeline.htm

    You should be able to just write over the file, rather than open, clear, and writeline.
