You use the Open statement to open a file for a specific mode (Input, Output or Append) then use statements such as Input, Line Input, Write and Print to read or write to the file. Then you Close the file. Other things you might want to look up are the Input$, FreeFile and LOF functions. Everything you need, including examples, is in MSDN.

We also have many examples of textfile I/O here in this forum, if you do a search.

For much more help try this (It's free).

Thankx guys
