Opening data files in VB

[Zvonko]

Hello!

I have data file called data.txt and 2 programs must access it's data at the same time.
Is it possible to do that and if it is how can I do that?

Regards
Zvonko

When you start your program, open the file and read the contents into an array or a variable. Then close the file.

There is a war out there and it is about who controls the information, it's all about the information.

In what way do you open the file? is it a normal text file you open for input or somekinda database?

If you open it for input or binary/random try something like this: Open "c:\data.txt" For Input Access Read Shared As #1
