BrewManNH Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There's no need to use Notepad for this, just do a FileWrite to the file you want the text in. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

jdelaney Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yes, notice the 2 runs (2 notepads)...just a demonstration of working with multiple windows, which can be modified to work with 1.
