To add to Éric suggestion, you may also take a look at WSH. Here is a small example to create a file and write a simple line in it:

Dim FileSystemObject as Object, loLogFile as Object
Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set loLogFile = FileSystemObject.CreateTextFile("C:\Test.TXT", True)
loLogFile.WriteLine "Test"
loLogFile.Close
Set loLogFile = Nothing
Set FileSystemObject = Nothing

You have to check "Microsoft Script Control 1.0" in Project|References before using that example.
