Open a text file, write the information into it, close the file.

There are two techniques you would be likely to use. (I'm going to assume you're using VB6 - you didn't say).

• Simpler to code, but providing less functionality, is the use of the Open...Close and various related statements.
• The FileSystemObject requires you to add Microsoft Scripting Runtime to your project (under Project | References), and takes a little more work. But it provides a lot more power to work with files, folders and drives.

For more information, you should look up the various statements (such as Open, Close, Get, Input # and so on) and the FileSystemObject in your documentation.

It would really be better if you read the documentation and explore this stuff. The main purpose of TheScripts is to provide help when programmers are stuck on a particular problem in their code. We're not a school.

Also, quite a lot of students come here and try to get copy-and-paste answers to homework and coursework assignments. Providing them doesn't help the student, and on occasion has actually gotten them into serious trouble with their teachers.

So, for many reasons, we try not to provide hand-holding at the beginner level. Sorry, but as you can see there are good reasons for this policy. And there are web sites out there which will provide basic tutorials, if you search for them. For that matter, if you use the search facility here on TheScripts, chances are good you will find what you're after anyway. I'm sure basic file access must have been discussed at various times.

I think you will find that the SaveSetting and GetSetting funtions are for reading and writing values in the Registry. As such, they probably should be used with some care, and preferably after reading the documentation.
