    You need to be bit more specific. What do you mean "xyz" isn't doing it? What DOES it do?
    Are you closing the file?
    Do you get an error?
    Do you get the data, just in the wrong format?
    WHAT?! Details, please.

    Try this...

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub cmdSaveDate_()

    2. Dim Today As Variant

    3. Today = Format(Now,"mm/dd/yyyy")

    4. Open "c:\MyDateFile.txt" For Append As #1

    5. Print #1, Today

    6. Close #1

    7. End Sub
