Opening a file with "FreeFile" ** RESOLVED **

If I open a file in "FreeFile" which takes the next available file number, and then later want to read or write to the file, what tells me the number that was assigned to that file.

I haven't actually done this yet, but to write to a file "Write #1" needs the number, am I right?

Does freefile give the programmer a number or is there a variable that holds the number somewhere?

(pardon the simplicity of my questons, I'm REALLY new to this)

thanks

Like this:

VB Code:

Dim f As Integer
 
f = FreeFile
 
Open "C:\file.txt" For Ouput As #f
    Write #f, "Text"
Close #f

I can't believe I didn't think of that!! Sometimes I scare myself...
