How to save as to a new file.

[Bullitt]

I have a program in visual basic 6 and there are some numbers that I want to save to a file. I have the common dialog now and I can type in a filename and extension, but this is not making the new file.

So my question is, how can I make a file?

Thanks already

Try to use FileSystemObjec t .

You don't necessarily have to type the file extension. What you need is to filer the file extensions.

CommonmDialog.F ilter = "Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb)|*.mdb|A ll Files " & _
"(*.*)|*.*"

You can use FSO for such purpose.

To create a file you can use following code

dim fso as new filesystemobject
dim f as file
dim t as textstream


private sub cmdsave_click()

fso.createtextfile(Your Path)

set f=fso.getfile(File Path you creates)
set t=f.openastextstream(Select Writing mode)

t.write(text1.text)

t.close

end sub

For further help you can contact me.

Dim objFSO As FileSystemObjec t
Private Sub Command1_Click( )
Set objFSO = New FileSystemObjec t
objFSO.CreateTe xtFile "C:\testaa. txt"
