a simple text file save "?"

[carlino]

all I need is a way to append a text string on to the end of a text file.
i can't seem to use the OPEN / PUT commands successfully to do so. Also,
I can assume I will have trouble reading the files later on. Can someone
help me with this? Thanks!

Carlino,
When you Open the file do it like this:

Dim lFileNo as Long

lFileNo = FreeFile

Open <path to your file> FOR APPEND as #lFileNo

the key here is the KeyWord APPEND which means that you are going to ADD
the text lines on the end of the existing file.

Look up the Open Statement in the VB Help System for the details.
