but how do you want to create your text file from what?

This is what I used to save text displayed in a textbox with selected file representing the file path

Dim SelectedFile As String
Dim vari As Integer
Dim contenu As String
Dim chemin As String

Private Sub save_Click()
vari = FreeFile
contenu = Form1.visualisation.Text
' file path to save
chemin = SelectedFile
' opening the file
Open chemin For Output As #vari
' saving the text
Print #vari, contenu
' closing the file
Close vari

End Sub

Hello
to create a txt file in vb6, simply write the following code:
Open "C:\monfichier.txt" For Input As #1
return = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)
Line Input #1, text
all = text
If Len(all) <> 0 Then
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, text
all = all + return + text
Wend
End If
Text1.Text = all
Close #1
hoping that I get at least some help

Have you tried using a textbox?
Then you save it.

No, I didn't try from a textbox

I want to create the file from a command button.

You can type your text in a textbox and then create it from a save button, otherwise I will look at the codes to guide you to do it with some code.
Still, check the forums and the internet to see if you can find a source code that would help you.

You're welcome!

Do you want to do it from the keyboard input?

It must be automatic.

Hi Mophi and Elrin

Both programs work wonderfully.

But when I wanted to copy the content from another text file to paste it into the created file, it gives me errors.

But still, thank you.

Super mini - tutorial, works wonderfully indeed :-)

But! .. quick question, how can I extract the content of the entire FlexGrid and copy it into a text file?? .. regardless of the text formatting afterwards ..
