Problem writing files

When I write to a file using output access it always puts a return at the end of the text and makes it go to the next line. This is causing problems in my program. It's an encryption program that writes encrypted text to a file, and then can decrypt it. But because the return at the end is not encrypted, it decrypts to the wrong character.

This is the code I'm using to write it:

Open CurrentFile For Output As #1
Print #1, txtEncrypt.Text
Close #1

Anyone know how to make it not add the return at the end of the file?

Thanks

VB does this by default. If you don't want a return at the end of the line, try writing to the file in Random mode.

Code:

---


'example uses a textbox Text1
'2 command buttons, Command1, Command2
'
'encrypts and decrypts a file showing results in textbox
'
'use write instead of print when writing to the file
'this will remove the unwanted characters at end of file.
'

Option Explicit

HeSaidJoe, thanks but I've already done my own encryption and decryption code.

I just need to know how to stop VB from adding a return at the end of the file when i write it.

Thanks

And also, using Write instead of Print still puts a return at the end.

the example tells you that..take only what you need.
check the write functions as compared to yours.

I like to check before I post...that's why it's all there.

ok thanks ive worked it out.
i just needed to change the code to this:

Open CurrentFile For Binary As #1
Put #1, 1, txtEncrypt.Text
Close #1
