Let's see the code in action, soramaster!

In what format do you intend to save this wonderful information?

.txt, .mdb, etc...

I want it to be able to save it as .txt.

I'm still working on the layout of my program.

This is the stuff I have:
This is the forms:
1.frmWindow
2.mdiMAIN

This is what I have in frmWindow:
1.txtTEXT "a text box"

I have a menu in mdiMAIN

Thanks for the help. If you need any other info let me know and I'll post it

Gotcha!

Save the file to .txt in this fashion:

 
Open App.Path &"\usermate.txt" For Output As filenum1
 
Open App.Path &"\usermate.txt" For Append As filenum1
 
 

Read the file from .txt in this fashion:

 
Open App.Path &"\usermate.txt" For Input As filenum1
 
 
 

Have fun!

Ok I have Private Sub FS_Click(Index As Integer)
Open App.Path & "\usermate.txt" For Output As filenum1

Open App.Path & "\usermate.txt" For Append As filenum1
End Sub

FS ="
File
...Save"

I don't know if thats right. When I test it I get a "Run Time error '52': Bad file or number"

I have VB6

Did I put it in the wrong area?

You're doing fine, you just need to add:

 
filenum1 = FreeFile
Private Sub FS_Click(Index As Integer)
Open App.Path & "\usermate.txt" For Output As filenum1
Write #filenum1, Text1.Text 'this being container of text being loaded in usermate.txt
Close #filenum1 ' in your code here to have it do what you want
End Sub

I add a toolbar to my program but how do I add the button images and stuff?

I add a toolbar to my program but how do I add the button images and stuff?

How do you mean?

(1) Your ToolBox is equiped with both Image and PictureBox add ins
(2) Looking up your Image, PictureBox properties, it's pretty standard

Can you tell us a little more?

Have a great week!

This is what I have and I don't have no buttons or images.

 Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
End Sub

[soramaster]

Ok I figured out how to add the buttons but I can't add any images to them. How do I do that?

[soramaster]

Also I want it to a be able to store the info in the program too if the user selects that option and I want it password protected before you use the program I want it to be able to log the user in with the windows account. How would I be able to make that happen?

Ok I figured out how to add the buttons but I can't add any images to them. How do I do that?

(1) Look your left, find your toolbox,

(2) if you do not have it there, look above your your screen, what looks to be a wrench and a hammer, click on it

(3) Choose PictureBox or Image

(4) Go to either the PictureBox or the Image properties
Clicking once on either will make avaialbel properties pane

(5) Find Image in the list, then hit that little button

(6) Find Photo form your files

Within your code for the command button that'll fire your Image, say:

 
'Set visivility to false when form loads
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
Image1.Visible = False
 
End Sub
 
'Bring snapshot in as needed
 
Private Sub MyPicButton_Click()
 
Image1.Visible = True
 
End Sub
 
Or 
 
Private Sub MyPicButton_Click()
 
Picture1.Visible = True
 
End Sub
 
Depending on which control you are using..
 
 

But, there you have it. I did not try this, but it should work just fine. Please stay tuned if you do not understand.

Also, I would post you code if I were you, you'll find helpful hits/replies that way.

In a bit!

Well I can't use the program anymore. Something happend and it says it can't find what it needs and it would not load. I tried to uninstall it but it says that the uninstaller is corrupted. So I deleted the VB files "Not the programs, I backed them up" and deleted the VB keys from the regedit and then it showed up as not installed so I clicked next to install and it comes up with an error and won't finish installing. I tried everything. IDK how to get it installed.

Geez! You must be unhappy...

Try restoring your machine to a date you did not have any problems, perhaps two weeks ago!

See what happens...

Have you tried plugging in the error(s) to Microsoft's Knowledge Base page?

Also, Google is pretty good at finding you a match to some errors, you may not be the only one having this problem.

Sorry for your troubles...
