    write to text file continuously

    Hi, I am trying to read the serial number after reading from my device and write it to a txt file. But i can only write the last device serial number to the text file only. How do i write the text file continuously? What i am getting now is only SBBBB. SAAAA is overwritten. Please help me. Thank you

    Eg, (write to the text file)
    SAAAA
    SBBBB


    Code:
    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
             Set f = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\Write_FIB\PASS.txt", True)
              f.WriteLine (txtSerialNo.Text)
              f.Close

    CreateTextFile creates a new, empty file each time you call it. You need to use the OpenTextFile method instead:

    Const fsoForAppending = 8
    Set f = fs.OpenTextFile("c:\Write_FIB\PASS.txt", fsoForAppending, True)
