Random Files in VB 6.0

[CDHobby]

In Visual Basic 6.0 How do you take input from a text Box and write it to
a random file. I know you use the 'Put'statement ,but i can't figure out
how to get the record number.

When writing to a random file, you don't "get" the record number. You must
specify the record number you want to write to on the Put statement, so you
have to know what record number you want to write to. This means you have to
have specific knowledge of how the file is laid out and what information is
contained in each record.
