Adding data into a text file at different times.

[FreedomP]

I want to run a program that will keep track of names entered into a file. I can get it to enter data into the file each time that the program runs but it just writes over the data from the previous entry. This is the code that I am using.

Open "C:\MyFiles\Visual Basic 6.0\Excel Storage\Username Storage.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, frmReg2.User
Close #1
Debug.Print frmReg2.User

I was wondering if there is a way to program around this.

You might try opening the file for Append rather than for output.

Good Luck

Thanks a lot, that did the trick. I completely forgot about append.

or if you are really brave try a binary open and handle each character (use byte type or byte array to get at them) which quite easy if you dump in regular size blocks (or box them up in fixed length chunks)

Dim array(0 to 127)

blah blah load you array

eg Put #1 , data position, array
