textfile

hi did the following code so when it saves everything in the label and text box to a text.file

when i add new data in the text boxes and save it, overrides the old text file.

what i need is everytime i add new data to text boxes and save it creates a new text file no overide the previous one created

Private Sub mnuFileSave_Click()
Open "C:\Program Files\Project\Project .txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, "Label1. " & label2 & " saved at " & Now & "."
Print #1, "label3 " & text1 & " " & text2 & " " & text3 & " " & text4

Close #1
End Sub

Where it sais for output change to for append

ok

Cheers

tried that but doesn't create a new one

Ok me other problem is i got a list box with a list called eur, chf and gbp

when i switch from eur to chf it clears all enties i had in the textboxes in main form what i am trying to achieve is: if i working on say the euro list i want all the info in text boxes to be save in a text file called eur then when i switch list chf and do entries there it also saves to a text file called chf then when i go back to list eur list it brinks back all the data from the textfile and puts back in the appropriate textboxes

Do it this way using a commondialog1 control
this will allow you to save in anew file where you want

VB Code:

Private Sub mnuFileSave_Click()
CommonDialog1.Filter = "Text files,(*.txt)|*.txt|"
CommonDialog1.ShowSave
Open CommonDialog1.FileName For Output As #1
 
Print #1, Text1.Text
Print #1, Label1
 
Close #1

if you want to use your first method, simply change the name of the output file. You can't save to the same file repeatedly.
