output to a file

I have a situation where I have many forms that I run in sequence.

I want to put out put from each form to an external text file or WORD file.

 

Antysuggestions?

have a look at System.IO.FileStream and System.IO.StreamWriter as good starting points.

here's a quick example of using the IO.StreamWriter :

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim strText As String = "i'm some text that's going to be in your new .txt file" & Environment.NewLine & "and i'm multilined!"
       Dim sWriter As IO.StreamWriter = New IO.StreamWriter(New IO.FileStream("D:\a_test.txt", IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
       sWriter.Write(strText)
       sWriter.Close()
   End Sub
