Quotes 'n' Schtuffs

How do I display a quote?
Everytime I've tried, I've terminated the openquote too early or commented out the closequote. 8)

Use either 2 quote marks together or Chr$(34). I.E.:
Msgbox """"
- or -
Msgbox Chr$(34)

Thanks! One more question: How do I take text from a textbox and insert it into a text file? I've already taken care of the file opening and closing, I just need to know how to append the textbox info into it.

I prefer Chr$(34). """" gets a little too confusing....

Use this:

Print# 1, Text1.Text

do you want to open it for Append(add to) or Output(overwrite)?

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

'append(add to)
  Open "c:\text.txt" For Append As #1
    Print #1, Text1.Text
  Close #1

'output(overwrite)
  Open "c:\text.txt" For Output As #1
    Print #1, Text1.Text
  Close #1

End Sub

Hehe. You forgot your [ /code ], I think.

To append text from a textbox to a file, you must use either the Write or the Print statement. Write will enclose the text in quotes, Print will not (you probably want Print).

Example:

Code:

---

Open "C:\Whatever\MyFile.txt" For Append As #1
Print #1, txtWhatever.Text
Close #1

Here's what I'm working with.

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdPlaceorder_Click()
  Dim objSession As Object
  Dim objMessage As Object
  Dim objRecipient As Object


  'Create the Session Object
  Set objSession = CreateObject("mapi.session")


  'Logon using the session object
  'Specify a valid profile name if you want to
  'Avoid the logon dialog box
  'objSession.Logon profileName:="MS Exchange Settings"
  objSession.Logon profileName:="Novell Default Settings"

  'Add a new message object to the OutBox
  Set objMessage = objSession.Outbox.Messages.Add


  'Set the properties of the message object
  objMessage.subject = "ECLS Order"
  objMessage.Text = "-----"


  'Add a recipient object to the objMessage.Recipients collection
  Set objRecipient = objMessage.Recipients.Add


  'Set the properties of the recipient object
  objRecipient.Name = "[email protected]"  '<---Replace this with a valid
                                  'display name or e-mail alias
  'objRecipient.Type = mapiTo
  objRecipient.Resolve

  'Send the message
  objMessage.Send showDialog:=False
  MsgBox "Order placed successfully!"

  'Logoff using the session object
  objSession.Logoff


End Sub

On the line that says 'objMessage.Text = "-----"', I could insert the information itself from the textboxes, or I could put a brief message here and add an attachment containing a file with the info. Which would be more efficient, and how would I do it?


P.S. - Yes, I did get this code from a vb site.

Sorry for bringing this back up in the list, but I really need to figure this out soon!
