To elaborate on Ben s answer   If you add a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime and correctly type the variable fso you can take advantage of autocompletion  Intellisense  and discover the other great features of FileSystemObject     Here is a complete example module   Option Explicit    Go to Tools - gt  References    and check  Microsoft Scripting Runtime  to be able to use   the FileSystemObject which has many useful features for handling files and folders Public Sub SaveTextToFile        Dim filePath As String     filePath    C  temp MyTestFile txt         The advantage of correctly typing fso as FileSystemObject is to make autocompletion        Intellisense  work  which helps you avoid typos and lets you discover other useful       methods of the FileSystemObject     Dim fso As FileSystemObject     Set fso   New FileSystemObject     Dim fileStream As TextStream        Here the actual file is created and opened for write access     Set fileStream   fso CreateTextFile filePath         Write something to the file     fileStream WriteLine  something         Close it  so it is not locked anymore     fileStream Close        Here is another great method of the FileSystemObject that checks if a file exists     If fso FileExists filePath  Then         MsgBox  Yay  The file was created   D      End If        Explicitly setting objects to Nothing should not be necessary in most cases  but if       you re writing macros for Microsoft Access  you may want to uncomment the following       two lines  see https   stackoverflow com a 517202 2822719 for details        Set fileStream   Nothing      Set fso   Nothing  End Sub
