saving data in a text file

[jeffro]

I'm having trouble saving data to a textfile. I can save the filename but cannot write the data to that file. Can someone help??
Heres an example of the code I have so far:

On Error Resume Next

CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
CommonDialog1.ShowSave

strOpenFile = CommonDialog1.Filename

Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(strOpenFile, True)

strData = Text1

ts.Write (strData)
ts.Close

Rich text boxs have their own built in save feature

rtb1.savefile "C:\Myfile.txt" , rtfRTF 'to save

rtb1.loadfile "C:\Myfile.txt" , rtfRTF 'to open

RichTextBoxes use up a lot more resources too. Next example will save data from Text1 into a file called MyFile.

Open "MyFile.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, Text1.Text
Close #1

'Assign constants forwriting numeric value
Const ForWriting = 2

'Set fso as object for writing to output file
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Set SavetxtOutFile = file path
Set SavetxtOutFile = fso.OpenTextFile _
("c:\windows\desktop\savedtxtfile.txt", ForWriting,True)

'Write txt here
SavetxtOutFile.write "Here is the text I have saved."

'Close txt file
Set SavetxtOutFile = Nothing
