Hi Bob,
I think that you are forgetting at least two parameters in the
open file command :
open flle ABC for update (existing file you want to READ and then WRITE to)
(I never used this form ...)
open file ABC for append (existing fille you want to "ADD" to)
("just the job !")
I hope that this
Bob,
'for UPDATE’ works as well for your case as long as you write ‘at END'

Hmmm...
I inserted
read from file "Forms Generator 8 Crash Log.txt" until EOF
before the writes, then removed "at end" from the write commands. IT STILL
overwrites the entire file!
It looks like the open file command is wiping the file before any writes
happen! Is this normal??

Hi all.
Given code snippet:
open file "Forms Generator 8 Crash Log.txt" for write
write formatDate(the date, "sql date") && formatTime(the long time, "sql time")
& cr \
to file "Forms Generator 8 Crash Log.txt" at end
write tContexts & cr to file "Forms Generator 8 Crash Log.txt" at end
close f
