Alright, i have one.txt document that we will call sales. we have another that we call bonus. sales contains all of the salesperson's information such as name and total sales. Bonus is to contain the bonuses for the salespeople. with my program, you enter the bonus rate and it applies it to all the salespersons records. For some reason, my code is onlywriting one of the bonus amounts to the file for everyone.

Here is the code

strBonus = CDec(txtRate.Text)

swWriter = IO.File.AppendText("sale.txt")

For Each strBonus1 In mdecBonus

strBonus1 = (strBonus * 0.01D) * strTotal

swWriter.WriteLine(strBonus1)

Next strBonus1

swWriter.Close()


any ideas why it doesnt work?
 
instead of: swWriter = IO.File.AppendText("sale.txt")

try

Dim swWriter as StreamWriter("sale.txt")
 
for some reason nothing worked so i just wrote a new file to get around it. Any ideas how to make an array with an unknown amount of elements?
