Thanks for your response. I created a project and went into properties and found the tab you were talking about.

However, what I still don't know is:

* How do you "declare" or "open" an input file?

* How do you "declare" or "open" or create an output file?

* How do I "read" in a record from the input file?

* How do I "write" out a record to my output file?

I found chapter 33: Using Files from Database Programs You'd Rather Not Use in the book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies. It talks about retrieving, displaying and updating records from a database using a form. Not only do I not want to use a form, I'd rather use an ASCII file rather than a database. Again, if you know of any reference material I could use to find out how to do this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
