Myapologies for misunderstanding you.

Code:

class RecAdj

public:
	RecAdj();

	char m_invoice_c11[11];

	void ReadRec(int number, CListBox* pListBox);
	void SaveRecItem(CString filename);

};


void CRegisterDoc::OnReceive() 
{
	// TODO: Add your command handler code here
	VendorDlg adlg;
	if(adlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
	{
		RecItemdlg recdlg;
		do
		{
			//adlg.m_invoicenumber is a CString its value here would ex. "Bob" with no spaces.
			strcpy(recdlg.recitem.m_invoice_c11 , adlg.m_invoicenumber);
		}while(recdlg.DoModal()==IDOK);
	}//endif
}



void RecAdj::SaveRecItem(CString filename)
 {
 	std::ofstream fout(filename, std::ios::binary | std::ios::app);
 	if(fout.fail())
 		AfxMessageBox("Temp rec file failed to open", MB_OK);
	else
	{
 
  		fout.write(m_invoice_c11, sizeof(m_invoice_c11)); //as is "Bob........" is the output
	}
	fout.close();
 }

the above is the acutall code minus the call funtion to SaveRecItem. Its called from another function but doesn't change or affect the data in anyway. I have stripped this down to be only one variable, in the actual code there are lots more.
