Managed to answer my own question in the end and created an VB component using the FileStream writer:

      Dim FILE_NAME As System.IO.FileStream
      FILE_NAME = System.IO.File.Create("C:\temp.txt")

      Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME)
      

      objWriter.Write("Your panel contents read to here")
      objWriter.Close()
 

Hope that helps someone else in the future!

Dear Mark, Thanks for sharing your solution... I am a real beginner when it comes to creating VB components... I have been trying to insert the code you generously offered up... into a VB component, but I think I am missing something obvious.

I have been reading through some tutorials, but I haven't found my error yet.

Would you mind offering some advice?

Here is a screenshot of your code that I placed in a component, then attempted to use.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi

Sorry for slow reply. Please see attached the full component script which will hopefully fill in the blanks.
