Probably not. It would be best to do it all in C++ or all in Basic. But 
they are two different animals.

It should be fairly easy in either Basic or C++, you just need to stick 
to one or the other for now.

That gave me a good laugh for today! :-)

The principles of file access are the same, but the syntax 
(instructions) are different. You must get access to the file by opening 
it by name. Then you can read or write to it depending on how you 
requested the opening. When finished, you close it.
How you do it in either language depends on what type of data you are 
interested in using. Can you give an example of what you are trying to 
do? Are you dealing with numbers or character strings or both? What 
Basic are you using?
KS>One last question.  Where would a good place to take a class in C++

Kevin, I don't have any idea on that. You might post a message to ALL 
with this question.
