StreamWriter leaving txt file empty!

[eddy556]

Take a look at this code:

Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
 
If System.IO.File.Exists(filename) = False Then
 
oWrite = IO.File.CreateText(filename)
 
oWrite.WriteLine("hello")
 
MsgBox("File has been created!")
End If

it is successfully creating the file using 'filename' which is passed to the sub from the form, but is leaving it empty...where I'd expect the word 'hello' to be on the first line.

I know there is probably something really obviously wrong here...thanks for your help!

Close the file: oWrite.Close()
