    Why does it need to be a txt file first, then renamed? Just use the following code:
    VB Code:
    1. Open App.Path & "\myfile.info" For Output As #1

    2.     Print #1, myVar1

    3.     Print #1, myVar2

    4. Close #1

    I don't quite understand what you mean. To use quotes in a string you can either use """ triple quotes, I think, or the way I do it: SomeStringVar & Chr(34) & "SomeMoreText" & Chr(34). The Chr(34) is a " character.

    If there are quotes in the string you read from a file then the file was written using Write instead of Print.
    VB Code:
    1. Write #1, "NewHelp4Me"

    2. Print #1, "NewHelp4Me"

    In the first case the file will be like this:

    "NewHelp4Me"

    In the second case the file will be like this:

    NewHelp4Me
