[bbepristis]

Hey all I have this code that reads from one text file writes to
another unless im on a certian line then it writes the new data however
it only seems to do about 40 lines then quits and I cant figure out why
any help would be much apprechiated

1.
Dim line_num As Integer
2.
Dim filename2 As String
3.
Dim csv_text As String
4.
csv_text = companytxt.Text & "," & Nametxt.Text & "," &
addrtxt.Text & "," & citytxt.Text & "," & statetxt.Text & "," &

Are you sure you don't have included a chrw(0) value.

After that you cannot see anything anymore.
