How do I delete the last 200 bytes of a file??
And add text to the end of the file ??

You would need to Read the File in and Output it again, excluding the last 200 Bytes. If it's a Text File use Input/Ouput else use Binary Access File.

dim qwe as string

open file for binary as #1
qwe = space(LOF(1))
get #1 , , qwe
close #1

MyTruncatedString = left(qwe,len(qwe)-200)

'hope it helps

...that was just to truncate the last 200 bytes.
You know how to add a string to another...
