    Really stupid question... RESOLVED, although still available due to popular demand

    Right...

    If I want to enter a line of text into a file called test.txt... how would I do it?

    What would happen if there's already text in the file... i need it to add the line, and NOT overwrite the file completely.

    So the user enters a line which says...

    "Stupid question"

    The test.txt file would read...

    Stupid question

    The next user enter's...

    "Need an answer"

    The test.txt would then read...

    Stupid question
    Need an answer

    Any ideas please... my mind's gone totally dead this evening. Anyone want to sell their's ?

    Regards,

    Paul.

    Instead of opening the file for Output, open it for Append.

    Lightbulb Append

    VB Code:
    1. 'Sub to append to a file passed as argument

    2. Private Sub AppendFile(FileName As String, Text as String)

    3. Dim X as Integer

    4. X = FreeFile

    5. Open FileName For Append As #X

    6. Print #X, Text

    7. Close #X

    8. End Sub
    is one way to do it.
    HTH
