Default What's the best way of writting a text file through VBA?

I have to create several text files through VBA every month, and the text
files have to be created line by line. What I do right now is to write to the
text file everytime I created a new line for this text file. And it became
extremely slow when everything is located on a network drive. I am guessing
the major reason is because writing to the network drive frequently makes the
process slow.

So I am thinking about if it is possible to put the data for the text file
in a buffer and then save it to the network drive only once. The text file is
not huge, its size is just about 3M. Saving a 3M file on the network drive
should just take a few seconds, at most 1 minute.

Could anybody help me on this problem? Thanks a lot!
