Below is the copy of e-mail from Dingo with his idea (his post for some reason
has never made it to this board). I'm still not sure how to implement it in my
code. Thanks, Dingo.

What you need is a "one time switch" so you can open the file in overwrite mode
once and then do an append the rest of the time. This can be accomplished by:
if ( Status("stocknum") == 0 )
{
Your "one time stuff" here before your other code }
