So you need to delete the file first and then make a new one

If Only writing to it once

If Writing to the file more than once

When you open to write, DBC automatically creates the file for you so you don't have to type if file exist=0 then make file...

As AREA 51 has explained

Ok, thanks for the input!
So, to add information to a file, I need to read it in, store it, close the file, open to write, write old data + new data?
That seems a little long winded.
Oh well, if i must...
