Hi Bob, I think that you are forgetting at least two parameters in the open file command :
open flle ABC for update (existing file you want to READ and then WRITE to) (I never used this form ...) open file ABC for append (existing fille you want to "ADD" to) ("just the job !") I hope that this will solve your problem Best Regards -Francis _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
