I'm stumped as half of it works!!

I am trying to output to the screen and a text file, the outputting to the scren works even if the window is not in focus, but the out put to the text file only works while the window that i output to is in focus?! whats going on?

LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardFunc (int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
	HDC	hDC;
	//Timer Elements
	_ftime( &timebuffer );
	timeline = ctime( & ( timebuffer.time ) );
						


	if ( nCode >= 0 ) {

		if ( nCode == HC_NOREMOVE )
			strcpy(szType, "NOT Removed from Queue");
		else
			strcpy(szType, "REMOVED from Queue                                             ");
		
		//strcpy(temp, keyType(wParam));
		if(pKB) //Output to txt File
				fprintf(pKB, "Key:%d,%.19s.%hu %s",wParam,timeline, timebuffer.millitm, &timeline[20] );

		wsprintf((LPSTR)szFilterLine[KEYBOARDINDEX],
			"KEYBOARD\tKey:%d\t%s",wParam,(LPSTR)szType);

		hDC = GetDC(hwndMain);
		TabbedTextOut(hDC, 1, nLineHeight * KEYBOARDINDEX,
			(LPSTR)szFilterLine[KEYBOARDINDEX],
			strlen(szFilterLine[KEYBOARDINDEX]), 0, NULL, 1);
		ReleaseDC(hwndMain, hDC);
   }

   // We looked at the message ... sort of processed it but since we are
   // looking we will pass all messages on to CallNextHookEx.
   return( CallNextHookEx(hhookHooks[KEYBOARDINDEX], nCode, wParam, lParam));
}

the information is about the keyboard hook it installs, i need to track the info about the keyboard and save it all in a text file, no matter which application is being used?!

Any ideas?
Cheers in advance
