>I am trying to print a selection from a list to a file. The program right now is pringing out only the first selection from this list. I know that i need to loop through the code to get it to print all of the selections, but when it hits the loop it says file is in use and only prints the first one. Here is the code for the loop.

Try:

m.lastname = left(thisform.pageframe.page3.list3.list(x),3)
append from c:\phonebook\addresses for lastname = m.lastname

Also the COPY TO will overwrite any existing file.
