That works well, thanks.

I prefer
Filestream.WriteLine "&c" + (Right(Cstr(EditField1.BackColor),6)

That's exactly what I needed, the v = Filestream.ReadLine part.
Sometimes when data is added to an editField, if the data is higher or lower
than some particular value, changing the editfield's backColor highlights the
value.
To display the string from ReadLine as the caption for the
BevelButton does *not* require a variant.
All I do for that is:
BevelButton1.caption = Filestream.ReadLine
Filestream.WriteLine BevelButton1.caption
and that works fine.
Thanks again.
