Other suggestions from then still apply also. Also ... - you are using READ# incorrectly I think; you need to specify the number of bytes to be read in but that is generally unknown the way your file is written. - when you write to the file, variable txt$ can have up to only 255 characters which is pretty limited for a program in your edit field. - Use refNumVar% from FILES$ in your OPEN instructions... OPEN "O",1,fo$, ,refNumVar% <---- for saving/writing to disk file and OPEN "I",2,fo1$, ,refNumVar% <---- for opening/reading from disk file. Check it all carefully... -Stu
