I need to create a data file called students.dat and insert a few records into it.
I need (3) fields: 1) student id no. 2) last name 3) first name
I thought it would be pretty straight forward, but I get a compile error: Invalid Outside Procedure and "students.dat" is highlighted. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks in advance.
Here is my code thus far.

After some persistence, I was able to create/insert records to the data file.
But, I'm not having any luck with the 2nd part of my assignment, which is to create a form permitting a user to view all records in the data file via populating records to a list box. I also have to use error handling when opening the data file.
Can anyone get me started in the right direction for this added task? I've added a button and list box to a form, but can't get the records to load...
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
