I looked at that site but it does not really apply to what I need to do.

Then you need to define your needs more clearly. If you use the term Serialize in Java it means what I pointed you to, nothing else. If that is not what you mean then don’t use the term, instead use the appropriate term for what you are asking about so others will understand you.

>> Need to read from an access database

Use JDBC. See the JDBC tutorials at java.sun.com

>> to a serialized text file.

If you want to write data to a file without Serialization, there are all sorts of stream classes in the java.io package that will write data to disk files.

If your just starting Java programming I suggest using a book that is targeted for beginners. Those books cover fundamental topics such as this. Trying to learn fundamentals using a messaging system like forums will take a very long time in comparison to a decent book.
