Code help Again

sorry i should have added this in my last post but i forgot to.

My question is i have txtBoxes and a form that has PASS and FAIL buttons.

What i want is my program to remember what the user enters into the txtBoxes and if he presses the PASS or FAIL buttons. And on the last Form if they press the SAVE button my program should open up notepad and copy all the entered text to notepad and bring up notepads save window. And if they press the PRINT button on my program it should open up notepad add all the text and automatically print it (can that be done).

Thanks

Why would you want that.. you can make your program do all of that itself..

Are you familiar with writing to, and reading from, text files?

em....no im not familiar with that sorry

This is just the basic idea of writing and reading to a text file.

vb Code:

On Error Resume Next
Dim FF As Integer
FF = FreeFile()
Dim FileData As String
Open App.Path & "\Info.txt" For Input As #FF
    FileData = Input(LOF(FF), FF)
Close #FF
 
Open App.Path & "\Info.txt" For Append As #FF
    Print #FF, "I am writing to a file."
Close #FF

For more information search google. Or highlight the word "Open" in visual basic and press F1.

cool thanks

Actually could you maybe explain how this code works and also do i just put this in the code for all the text boxes or what.

Thanks for the help

How many textboxs are we talking about?

3 textboxes and two buttons one being Pass and one being Fail. Two of the textboxes are on one form and the other is on another form and the two buttons are on another form but are together. The results from the text boxes and what button was pressed is to go into the .txt

Try (from the second form)

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
Open "c:\jamiex.txt" For Append As #1
Print #1, Form1.Text1.Text & vbCrLf
Print #1, Form1.Text2.Text & vbCrLf
Print #1, Text3.Text
Close #1
End Sub

Change the name of the textboxs and form to conform to what you are using in your project.

Is there anyway of telling it to print the file if a print button is pressed as the results might be needed to be printed to paper.

also (sorry to keep going on) can i let the user pick the name of the file that will be saved and how do i tell it to save the Pass or Fail button depending on which button is pressed
Thanks
