Much love x Thanks man! (y)

Can you use the file size or the file date as indicators if it is newer?

no problem I learned the hard way to check my sql string char by char (searched for the same thing a long long time a while back so...) If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistakes.

Dim SaveStream As System.IO.StreamWriter SaveStream = New System.IO.StreamWriter(directoryasstring.txt) SaveStream.Write(texttosaveasstring) SaveStream.Close() Posted by The ANZAC

Because you are making a mistake as follows: When you close the first stream therefore without reopening it you can't define UserName1 inside the second stream because its closed. Your approach to check username, password, etc. seems not appripriate. I suggest you to reorganize your code. :wtf: What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.
