Saving to text doc

[Smie]

How would I be able to save whats in a textbox, to a text document?

eg: You click the save button, and a message pops up asking you what you want to name it, and then it saves in programs directory?

I would really appreciate the help thanks!

1. put a cmdialog control on your form, name it cmd
2. make a commandbutton and a textbox
3. put this code in your form

Private Sub Command1_Click()
dim ff as integer
    On Error Resume Next
    cmd.ShowSave
    If Err Then Exit Sub
    ff = FreeFile
    Open cmd.filename For Binary As #ff
        If Err Then Exit Sub
        Put ff, , Text1
    Close ff
End Sub

4. pressing the button will now show up a savedialog and save it if you choose a correct name.

Kedaman, Why would you use Binary and not Output?

Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
commondialog1.ShowSave
Open commondialog1.filename For Output As #1
Print #1, Text1
Close #1
End Sub

Is there a particular difference in this case?

Don't leave the cancelerror unhandled Matthew or you will save a file whether you press cancel or not.

If Err Then Exit Sub 'fixed

Oops. That was just an example anyway Kedaman. I guess there is no difference.
