I am looking for a VB program to create log files at the end of each
night. What I need it to do:
The computer is turned on by me.
Windows 3.11 starts.
Terminal is opened.
Terminal goes into receive text file mode.
The name of the file needs to be the date, example : 012002.txt (Jan
20, 2002.
Every night at midnight, the file needs to close, thus saving the
days text log, and opening a new file with the next day as the
filename, in this example, 012102.txt.
If the computer should be shut down by accident or due to power
failure, I need it to know the date it left off with and "append file
" rather than over-write.
This all needs to be done automatically, no user interface.
Are there any programs like this out there? I've gone through
several books, and can't figure out how to do it!!! I'm more
confused than ever! If someone has a progam, I'd like a copy, even
just bits and pieces of a semi fucntioning example and info to help
get me started, though a running example would get me off to a good
start, I am not looking for others to do my work, I fully plan to
study it to increase my knowledge.
