Open "C:\02.dat" For Append As #1

[dimava]

I have this in my code:

Open "C:\02.dat" For Append As #1
Write #1, txtuser.Text, txtpass.Text
Close #1

now if someone runs the program

it saves to that file

now if someone runs the program again, it adds to the file


how do I make it so that if the person opened the program the second time, it would replace what was already there, instead of add to it?

Don't use the Open...Append.

Instead, try this:

Open "c:\02.dat" For Output As #1
    Write #1, txtuser.Text, txtpass.Text
Close #1

You having file problems again, dimava?
reeset is correct: When you open for APPEND, lines (records) are added to the end of the file (if the file does not exist, it will be created). When you open for OUTPUT, a new file will be created (or overwritten) every time.

ok, thanks it works!!!

Dimava, if you are adding text to a file..say Autoexec.bat, you'd use Append. If you want to write a file or overwrite it, than you would use Output.

Understand? Good .
