How to Write to a File

The easiest and fastest way to do this is using the Microsoft Scripting host.  You will need to add a reference to it in your project.  Once you have that, the rest is pretty much self explanatory.  Create a File System Object, and a TextStream

dim fso as new filesystemobject
dim ts as TextStream

use the createtextfile method to create your file based on the path you want

set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(filename)

to write to your file use the write, or writeline method of the textstream

ts.write "Text you want to write to the file"

Dear  kprestage ,
    I could not find that component name in my system and the component might be displayed with some other name as the names of the components will be displayed in French as my Operating system is a French version. So Can you give me the name of the dll ?
Thanks and Regards,
Badri

actually, fso has more overhead than the native vb file i/o methods... therefore it is actually slower.  In addition, you need the scrrun.dll (i think that's the one) included w/ your package.  So for simple file i/o (ie. simply reading/writing to a file) i would strongly suggest just using the native routines as shown by TimCottee above.

As bobbit31 said, the file name for the dll is scrrun.dll.  It was my understanding that the native VB file I/O commands were being depreciated in VB.net, meaning, don't get accustomed to using them because they may not always be around.

gvsbnarayana,
'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' is not found in components, it is found as a reference.

Thank you TimCottee
Here are your points!!
