Hi Lennox. The code below will only execute if myExpFile already exists. "If f.exists then"
So if you are running for the first time, myExpFile won't exist yet, so it won't be created.
Once you have created myExpFile, this code will (correctly?) overwrite it.

Hi Russ & Briman, I have this: Dim f As folderitem Dim TOS As TextOutputStream f = DesktopFolder.Child("myExpFile") If f exists then If f <> Nil then TOS = f.CreateTextFile TOS.WriteLine FirstName.Text TOS.WriteLine LastName.Text TOS.WriteLine Age.Text TOS.WriteLine Address.Text TOS.Close end if else 'do nothing end if but this does not create any file. Any suggestions? Thanks. Lennox. Russ Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Lennox. I believe you would find the f=DesktopFolder() method useful. You could use that to initialize a folderitem, then use the f.child method to initialize each of your text files.

Not Save or SaveAs like when the whole document is saved. How is that done? Thanks. Lennox.
