Well I think I might know how to help you.

You Make a file by using
Open To Write 1, "FileName"

Once open you can start saving varibles to that file by using this
Write Byte 1, Varible
(If you are saving really big numbers you would put Write Long 1, Varible or Write Word 1, Varible)

The number "1" is the file number that you opened/created and the "Varible" is the well varible you would like to save.
In its place you would put the varible you wanted to save
Example:
Write Byte 1, Budget or Write Byte 1, Amount

After you have the varible written to the file you then would close the file by using Close File 1

Now you will be able to see a file with the FileName you picked in the folder with your program although it doesn't load the varible back into the code it only saves it.

You load it by Open TO Read 1, "FileName" and Read Byte 1, Varible I think if you write your varible as a byte you have to read it was a byte, and same goes for word or long

Remember always close a file when its not needed
Umm I dono if I helped much because IM bad at explaining things but if you send me the code Im pretty sure I can help and I wouldn't be trying to steal ideas or nothing

There will always be some one a little bit faster, a little bit smarter, a little bit stronger, that some one is me =)

if the variable(called 'balance')holds the amount that your balance is then yes, you would.

Just incase you arn't aware here are the ranges of the various data types from the dbpro help file
home > principles > data types and variables.

Quote: "
INTEGER Range : –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
REAL Range : 3.4E +/- 38 (7 digits)
BOOLEAN Range : 0 to 1
BYTE Range : 0 to 255
WORD Range : 0 to 65535
DWORD Range : 0 to 4,294,967,295
DOUBLE INTEGER Range : –9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
DOUBLE FLOAT Range : 1.7E +/- 308 (15 digits)
"


So if you balence is every going to be less than 0 or greater than 255 don't use save byte, use write long insted.

dbpro : p166mmx @ 233 : 256mb : sb 128pci : sis onboard
