what if file doesnt exist?

[mettodog]

in form load

open "C:\me.text"

how can i make it so that if the file doesnt exist it will make a new one with that name?

It depends what mode you are opening the file as. If you use

Open "C:\me.txt" For Append As #1

This will automatically create the file if it does not exist.

How are you opening the file??

If you are going to rewrite the file every time then the Output mode will allow you to replace the existing file. The Append mode will add to the end of the file, if it exists, or start a new file if it doesn't.

Open "C:\me.txt" For Output as #1
