I have several slides with check boxes and text boxes. Through VBA, I can create one or more text strings and print them to the debugger. However, I would like to save the string to a file. Before a user begins making choices, I use an inputbox to get his/her initials. I should be able to use these initials plus the date to generate the file name.

Is there a quick and dirty way of creating and closing the file? :banghead:

There are examples on pptfaq.com in the programming > exporting section

Never knew that site existed. Do now and have it bookmarked. Looks like a good site for some misc information. Thank you. I found what I needed and will put it to work later.

This is the code I use to output text . Obviously other users would need to change the path. The text can be a variable or text as here.Sub TextOut()
FileNum = FreeFile
Open "C:/Documents and Settings/John/My Documents/" & "NotesText2.TXT" For Output As FileNum
Print #FileNum, "This is the text to save"
Close FileNum
End Sub
