>I am using VFP6. How does the syntax of strTofile() work in creating text file? Can you provide sample syntax for me to stare down?

Its so much easier to help you, if you use the "reply" link to create a new message in the same thread.

You can create a new Text file like this:

StrToFile('Hi, My Name is Ken', 'c:\MyName.txt')

You can modify it like this:

lcFile = FileToStr('c:\MyName.txt')
lcFile = upper(lcFile)
StrToFile(lcFile, 'c:\MyName.txt')
StrToFile('NETH', 'c:\MyName.txt', .t.) &&This Adds to teh file instead of Overwriting
