Try opening a file to write, then saving all of your data as strings using Str$().

Using this method, you can open the file with notepad afterwards and check that the values that have been written are correct.

When you load the data back in again, you load each item into a string variable (like Temp$) and then transfer it into the numeric variable with VAL().

If you are not sure on how to do this, post back and I'll expand on the method...

I'm gonna try the method Underworld used in his post. Otherwise I'll have to experiment and stuff. Thanks for the help TDK.

OK np!

Give me a list of the variables you need to write to the file and I'll give you a routine demonstrating how to do it.

Download my document on creating a database program. It'll show you how to write custom files and read them back in again.
