Try with option 9. See help for detail.

$file = FileOpen($tCur1+".txt", 9)

Without more of your code, I can't be sure this will work, but I think it will:

$tCur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()
$tCur1 = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tCur)
MsgBox(0, "Timevalue", _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tCur))
FileCopy("", @scriptdir & "\" & $tCur1+".txt", 8) ; <-- the 8 creates a blank file
$file = FileOpen(@scriptdir & "\" & $tCur1+".txt", 1)
FileWrite($file, _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tCur))

I think i cinfused all.

I need a file name with date and time.

Eg:"testReport05/30/2011.txt"

I dont want to write date and time into the file.File name should have date and time.

inspu - "/" and ":" will be illegal characters for a file name.

Also 9 was a combo of 1 = Append and 8 = Create the file structure.

You can try:

#Include <Date.au3>
$tCur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()
 $tCur1 = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tCur)
$tCur1 = StringReplace( $tCur1, "/","_")
$tCur1 = StringReplace( $tCur1, ":","_")
MsgBox(0, "Timevalue", $tCur1 )
 $file = FileOpen($tCur1&".txt", 9)
 If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf
FileWrite($file , $tCur1)
FileClose($file)
ShellExecute($tCur1&".txt")

You can also investigate _FileWriteLog
