Hi,

BTW - If I wanted to forward/create the same files in a different directory/server, how would I go about it?

Assuming there are no permissions\access problems then to create in a different location you could just add the path. e.g.:

>Dim w As New Xml.XmlTextWriter _
("\\machinename\e\tmp\test\"+ AppNum.ToString.Trim + ".XML", Nothing)
