Saving to a text file

[fbtucker]

I need to save the values of several variables to a text file can somebody please give me an example of the code used to save the variables named (var1, var2, var3, var4, var5) to a text file and then retrieve them.

[phinds]

the "sandbox" project at the link below my name show how to read and write text files

[dedub]

On Error GoTo fileerror
' creates a file if one is not made
'and writes what is in text box, output overwrites and append adds to
Open "c:\text.txt" For Append As #1 
    Print #1, Text1.Text
Close #1
Exit Sub
fileerror:
MsgBox "file error"

take this code and change the print line to your variable. ie..
Print #1, var1
and so on

good luck

You may want to investigate .ini files or the Registry to save and retrieve data.
