If in doubt, record a macro and inspect the entrails!

Here is an INDEX to all the procedures.

You will probably need one copy of my GLOBAL DECLARATIONS.

Public Function PrintFile(strFile As String, strMsg As String)
' Procedure :   PrintFile
' Description:  Print a message to a file.
' Copyright:    Chris Greaves Inc.
' Inputs:       The local or full file name, a string.
' Returns:      None.
' Assumes:      None.
' Side Effects: None.
' Tested:       By the calls shown below.
    Dim intFile As Integer
    intFile = FreeFile
    Dim strWorkFile As String
    strWorkFile = strFile
    ' add an extent if there is not one yet.
    If InStr(1, strFile, strcExtentSeparator) > 0 Then
    Else
        strWorkFile = strWorkFile & ".txt"
    End If
    ' add a path if there is not one yet.
    If InStr(1, strFile, Application.PathSeparator) > 0 Then
    Else
        strWorkFile = MacroContainer.Path & Application.PathSeparator & strWorkFile
    End If
    Open strWorkFile For Append As #intFile
    Print #intFile, strMsg
    Close #intFile
End Function

We all knew nothing when we started …
