When I want to export the highscore, it says the file already exsists. How can you keep writing to a file without it stating that th file already exists. Also the highscore is set to 300 in the high score variable. When the score breaks the highscore, it still exports the old highscore. I hope someone can help me and tell me what's wrong. Its probably something easy but I'm newish to DB.

Thanx

Just add the following line before the OPEN TO WRITE

if file exist(FILENAME) then delete file FILENAME

... substitute FILENAME with the filename you are opening of course

Um, no. Why would you want to delete the file you want to read?

Just put the line before an OPEN TO WRITE command.
