    Help on creating a textfile if nonexistent and writing to it in a loop

    I am having some trouble in writing to a file when a function that is called in a loop multiple times. I am thinking its because it is creating the file all the time and only writing the last data in the loop. Can anyone help me out. How do u uses FileExists method to check if the file exists. I want to write myvalue to a textfile everytime it is called in a loop.






    Public Function (myvalue as double) as variant



    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    If fso.FileExists("C:\testfile.txt") Then

    Set txtfile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)


    Else

    Set txtfile = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\testfile.txt", True)


    End If



    txtfile.WriteLine (myserverlink)
    txtfile.WriteLine ("Start Log : " & DateTime.Now)



    End Function

    Try using ForAppending, rather than ForWriting, as the second parameter of your OpenTextFile call.
