Dim ff As Integer
    ff = FreeFile
        Open App.Path & "\someFile.txt" For Append As #ff

You actually want a SAVED text file, don't you? Well, here's what you do:

First, create a RichTextBox, name it rtfTextToSave, set its Text property to whatever text you want the text file to hold, then make it invisible.
Last, copy and paste the following code into the procedure you want to save the text file.

Dim sFile
'replace c:\yourFile.doc with the file name, extension  and path you want
sFile = "c:\yourFile.doc"
rtfTextToSave.SaveFile sFile

If it's a text file you want to create, tell your users to open up Microsoft Word (actually the word processor to use depends on the extension you use, and it has to be a processor that can save as plain text) and save it as a plain text file. OK, Visual Basic won't actually create the text file, as you can see. That means more work for the users.
