Answer 1

I'm pretty sure there is one that comes with the visual basic program... But, it doesn't completely work. So, here is how you're gonna have to do: Create a method for deciding the URL of the file the user is gonna use (Including name). Then, when they press save you have to use something i have forgotten the name of. (You need to include something, it's something like filesystemobject) Then you can create a file of that name, and write to it the data inside the program.

Answer 2

Look for a VB dialog control (its been years since I coded VB). It already has a filesys object that will pop up a standard windows dialog box that asks where you want to save and what format.



All you need is your text box and a save button that called the dialog control I mentioned. It does all the rest.

Answer 3

try using this:

Add the CommonDialog item from the toolbox. If CommonDialog is not there you may need to go to the components entry on the upper menu (find it) and add some of the components/libraries. As for which ones take a guess.



then try this code.

CommonDialog1.FileName

CommonDialog1.ShowSave

- where FileName is the string variable that will hold the file name you type in.

Answer 4

You open a file for output, write the text (that the user entered) to the file and close the file.
