You can write information to a textfile and read it back in (as you suggest)

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to (or find something about) make an external data
storage, such as a text file? I figured out how to make one and add
items, but not how to import the text or part of the text, such as only
one variable.
I need it for a program which does not have a designated worksheet or
book, but I do need to store some variables to use the next time the
program is used.

I hope you have some suggestions

Jzz
