File I/O Controls: txtNote, cmdSave

Append a Text Note to a Local Log

Stores a timestamped note in a text file beside the compiled program. This is useful for simple logs, notes, and support traces.

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
    Dim fileNumber As Integer
    Dim filePath As String

    filePath = App.Path & "\notes.log"
    fileNumber = FreeFile

    Open filePath For Append As #fileNumber
    Print #fileNumber, Format$(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss") & "  " & txtNote.Text
    Close #fileNumber

    txtNote.Text = ""
    MsgBox "Note saved to " & filePath, vbInformation, "Saved"
End Sub
