Hey there pplz!!

JUst a question...i would appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do if i wanna save to a file. In my program, you enter in a name into a text box, and when you click on a command button, the name is saved into a file and also displayed on the next form ie "Welcome 'name' ".

Since my program is a quiz program, at the conclusion of all the questions, a final "total" is displayed along with a "result" (which is a description of a personality type). I would like my prgram to 'save' this information, along withthe name of the user into a file, adn this information is then retrieved and placed on a scoreboard. if there were any recent results of other users...there results are also place on the scoreboard...sort ofaccumulated if you know what i mean.

If anyone can offer even the smallest bit of code that might work..i would GREATLY appreciated. i kinda have no idea how to code this..hence i am officially screwed.

Cheer in advance to those who may be able to help. Keep smiling everyone *smiles gratefully*

You can use the file functions for this (open, print, input etc), but you might consider using the registry functions instead.

Hey, thanx BillSoo for replying, but im only a beginner with VB so if you could simplify that down for me a bit...would be great. Thanks

have you declared the name in a module...

Public username As String... change username to whatever your variable is named

and then

in your form as normal

Private Sub Form_Load()
lblWelcome.caption = lblWelcome.caption & username
End Sub



That should work
