This thread is for discussions of Save the contents of a textbox to a file.

Is there a way to specify where the file goes when it is outputed?

and is it possible to add to that file instead of just overwriting them content?

If you are using VB4 there is a file in samples folder called Fileio and in the code of that you can see how to save the file, add records to that file, create another file add records to that as well ad infinitum.
It's a good example and what I have used on my project.
