    if you allow the user to choose the file name and position with File dialog, in your flCPhone.open() use FileDlg.GetPathName() instead FileDlg.GetFileName(). regards, Eli

            Then you can use FILE* and open it in appending mode ("-a"). Take a look at fopen in the doc: FILE* pFile = fopen("YourFile.txt","a"); fwrite(.....); // This will append text at the end of the file

                    hi.. how do we save user entered text in a file.. i am using common dialog box and allowing the user to specify the file name and the location.. I used CArchive.. The first character in the saved file is always a garbage value.. Why? regards mpallavi

You should be able to verify this. Take a look at CArchive's << operator. If the length of the CString object is >= 255 and < 0xfffe, an extra 0xff is written to the archive followed by the length of the CString object.

                        Insert a CR and/or LF character first.
