Streamwriter

[mehmetned]

Dim objStreamWriter2 As StreamWriter
Dim DTString As String

    DTString = "C:\\ETCLINK\\" + Convert.ToString(Date.Now)


    'Pass the file path and the file name to the StreamWriter constructor.

    objStreamWriter2 = New StreamWriter(DTString) 

I take a runtime error when the code is run. What is the problem? Thank you? (objStreamWriter2 = New StreamWriter("C:\ETCLINK\09042008121212.txt") no problem here

Hmm. Check out "DTString". When run it could be set to: C:\ETCLINK\2001-01-01 11:11 This isnt a valid filename... The colon symbol ( : ) is a bad char.

I would concur with the other reply, although if you actually gave us the error message, we could provide a better answer. If the problem is the resulting string from Date.Now, use the Format command to get the resulting string into the desired format.
