just read the part about opening the file for output and putting data into it, not the commondialog part. Are you looking for a way to display to the user something similar to the commondialog control?

You could use this code to save the file:

Private Sub Command1_Click()

   Open YourFile.txt for Output as #1
   Print #1, Text1.Text
   Close #1

End Sub

And for opening the file, you could use...

Private Sub Command2_Click()

   Open YourFile.txt for Input as #1
   Text1.Text = Input(LOF(1),1)
   Close #1

End Sub
