Henry remember this.

Dim output As String
    'Old Delete Block
    If File.Exists(fileName) = True Then
        File.Delete(fileName)
        Debug.WriteLine("file deleted ")
    End If
    'Using fs As FileStream = File.Create(fileName)
    '    For Each t In coastalTowns
    '        output = New UTF8Encoding(True).GetBytes(String.Format(myFormat, t.name, t.county, t.population, t.area))
    '        fs.Write(output, 0, output.Length)
    '    Next
    'End Using
    FileOpen(2, fileName, OpenMode.Random, , , 43)
    Debug.WriteLine(Len(town))
    While EOF(2)
        For Each T In coastalTowns
            If Not T.name = "" Then
                output = (String.Format(myFormat, T.name, T.county, T.population, T.area))
                FilePut(2, output)
            End If

        Next

    End While

The obsolete code we had to use. haha

My god, yes I do. FilePut(), FileOpen() and FileClose() are bring back horrid memories from my A Level coursework hahahaha. One of the reasons I'm very glad my VB days are behind me.
