That's a sure way to get your question answered.

The help that comes with VB gives numerous examples of how to save to a file, but as you seem to be having so much trouble :

Dim iFile as Integer
Dim sText as string
'
sText = "this is a test to save to file"
'
iFile = FreeFile
'
Open "c:\test.dat" for Output as iFile
print #iFile, sText
Close #iFile
'

Of course ! The poor guy seems to be struggling with the F1 key and shouting / swearing is <sarcasm>always</sarcasm> a good way to get a response.

I think that's the one he refers to as :

>I DONT WANT ALL THAT STUPID SH1T THAT I DONT NEED, ALL I WANT IT THE **** SIMPLE ANSWER, <

- It was obviously way too complicated - open a file, write to it, close it. Hmmmm

And you know how hard it is to press the F1 key... it's less work to start the browser, go to this site, and enter the question. Oh yeah, and in capitals, so at least he knows where the capslock key is (little hint: 3 keys above the capslock is the escape key, the text on the button usually says 'Esc', at the right of that key, you'll find the F1 key (it usually has the text 'F1' printed on it). If you had an Apple, there would be a big red circle around it right now...
