    Not sure if this is what your after, but in its most basic form, i'd do it like this:

    #include <fstream.h>

    main()
    {
    char ch;
    char filename[20] = "c:test.txt";
    int mode = ios:ut;
    fstream fout(filename, mode );
    cout << "Ready for input, use CTRL+Z to end" << endl;
    while ( cin.get( ch ) )
    {
    fout.put( ch );
    }
    fout.close();
    return(0);
    }

    fout.close(); is important, miss it and you could **** up your whole hd.

    to open the file:

    #include <fstream.h>

    main()
    {
    char ch;
    char filename[20] = "c:test.txt";
    int mode = ios::in;

    fstream fin(filename, mode );
    if (!fin)
    cout << "Unable to open file";
    while ( fin.get(ch) )
    {
    cout << ch;
    }
    fin.close();
    return(0);
    }

    Do you mean with dialog boxes Ferraski? As in Visual C++ or Borland Builder or something? Or do you mean the functional part of it, the actual opening, closing etc.?

    Didn't you use that post for another question programmer??

    Ah. Then i'm afraid i can't help you, sorry. I don't use windows-dialog controls. I'm sure someone here does more visual app-based developing in VC++ than i do though... I stick to console apps mostly. If it's MFC you're after it's probably dead straightforward too - they're just standard dialogs.

    Sorry couldn't be more helpful - check out some VC tutorials and look up "dialog controls" with "save", "open","print". Although "print" is likely to be more difficult - depending on what you want to print.

    Actually, forget that last comment. MFC probably does that for you too.

    Ah.
