If you're using vb 2008 express, then you're using VB.NET. With that in mind, you should be using a FileStream to write and read files, not My.Computer.FileSystem.

System.io.file.writealltext would be fine, is this not just a shortcut ? Inputbox shows this is a vb6 user who needs to learn .ney properly, i admit.
