So you'll never have anything but the LAST item. You could use "a+" to append to the end of the file... But you *SHOULD* be using a database to avoid concurrency issues. You're going to have a MUCH better application if you store your data in the database, and it's EASIER than messing with a file. Only use a file if a database is absolutely forbidden by outside factors. Like badly-design homework assignments. Or not-very-smart pointy-haired-bosses. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
