This it the technique I use also and it works very well.

I have found with Boston that there is no need to "create globally"... what I am doing, based on their recommendations is as follows: Step One: Open "C:\DailyFiles\FTPLog.txt" For Append As #100 Step Five: Print #100, Now(); " * Incremental file set not complete", Tab ** "Tab" means to enter to next line in the text file Step 10 Close #100 This works really well and allows me to write information into my text files easily. On a side note, it also allows me to have multiple files open at once. For example, I have a script that writes information into three separate files at the same time with Append as #100, Append as #200 and Append as #300.

Rules based? If so, I believe you will need to declare "a" (poor choice for a variable name IMHO) globally so that it's value remains sub to sub. Might need to do "fs" also, but not sure.

Morning all. If I do the following in step 1: Set fs = CreateObject ("Scripting.FilesystemObject") Set a = fs.CreateTextFile ("c:\logs\somefilename.txt", True) And then in step 2: a.WriteLine ("Some text goes here") a.WirteLine ("Some more text goes here") I get an error in step 2 since I have left the sub in step 1. Do I need to Dim a as ?, or do I need to set a= fs before I can write to a, for each step that I need to write to? Thanks.
