when you use the 'Open' statement and the file specified doesn't exist, it is created.
you can then use 'Put' to insert text to the file.

When using Put, your inserting raw data. It's a little different than text. It's good for arrays and user defined "Type" variables because you don't have to worry about carriage returns, line feeds, commas or anything else like that. It also provides some low level data security in that all data "put" to a file is in Binary. And not readable by the average "file browser" (like myself  ) without a prior knowledge of the file structure (record sizes, data types...)

Only if you open in for output. If you open for input you get an error that the file doens't exist

Don't save files to the desktop. Too many programs put all kinds of garbage on it already.
For reading and writing text files or any other kind of vars to a file, check out some of the example code in the Visual Basic section on my website.
