Avoiding Critical Errors Associated With Textfile Deletion - Solved

[Tyrell Zeon]

Hi,

I'd like to know two simple things.

1. How do I make linebreaks show up in a textfile? I have a button, for simplicity, call it "cmdTest". When a user clicks cmdTest, I'd like a textbox to fill with say, 2-3 lines of code, laid out one line after another, and then once the program is closed, I'd like that info saved to a textfile. The user will have already supplied the location of the file which I've retrieved using CommonDialog filter etc, so no problems there - my only problem is putting the info into the textbox with formatting so that the saved textfile looks/reads like this:

text here
text here
text here
text here
text here

What is wrong with the code I used:

txtExample.text = "text here" + Chr(13) + "text here" + Chr(13) + "text here"

I thought Chr(13) was a linebreak?

2. How do you launch an application? I'd like to make a quick access panel of similar applications - the user will show the program where the different .exe's are and then hitting a command button will launch it. If I got the application path using commondialog, what's the code to launch an exe?


Thanks in advance all.
