I have a university assignment due in over the next week. I have to produce a cash point program (atm). I have to construct a program that allows the creation of customer information such as account number, customer name, openning balance and credit limit. This program has got to work as if it is a real cash machine. I have no idea how to store the customers information in file handling. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
Alison

start the project and if/when you run into difficulty, post specific code with a specific question. If you don't know how to deal with files, there is sample code in the "sandbox" project at the link below my name.

Sure... I know how...

Look at this example:

'This code is to overwrite a (new) file
Open AppPath & FileName For Output As #1
Print #1, strData
Print #1, strData
Close #1

'This code is to add data to an existing file
Open AppPath & FileName For Append As #1
Print #1, strData
Print #1, strData
Close #1

Hope this is usefull to you!
