Help creating and using a text file

[woknick]

I have a text box and next to the text box is a button. I would like to add an account number ie 9586 into the text box and click the button and have that account number added to a new or existing text file on my hard drive. I would also like to populate a combo box based on the text file.

I have no idea how to get started...

thanks in advance

Why do you want to do this?

If you use Access then you can store all of the information and export it to text file when you so wish.

here is my problem. I have a form that contains client account information. The primary key is AccountNum. It is required that some accounts will have multiple secondary accounts.

here is my thought process

Add additional account number -----> which is stored in a text file
additional account information is view --------> pulls from text file
From there I do a dlookup to match the additional account number to a external database that displays additional account information

Woknick,

It sounds like you need to revisit your db design and look at the tables. For the information you want can all be done in access.

There is no need to use an external database. If you need specific help on how to implement please post you current table structure and I sure we can help.

Busy at the moment, but will try to help if you require it.

Hope this Helps

Andy
