You can't just write to Excel files using VBA's file write
procedures. Excel files are internally extremely complicated, and
VBA doesn't support the data types required to manipulate them
directly. You should use Excel itself to modify Excel files.

Hi friends,
I wrote a macro such that it will append some data at the end
of the
excel file(I opened the file in binary mode and wrote the
content)
The sample code will be like this
Open filename For Binary Access Write As #1
If startpos = 0 Then
startpos = LOF(1)
End If
Put #1, startpos, "my data"
Close #1
After closing the file and opening it in Notepad the data is
still
there.
But if i reopened it in excel and closed the file, the data is
gone.
Excel overwrites the user defined data.
Assist me in keeping my data persistent so that i will retrieve
the
contents and process it.
