I've never heard of the ChilkatXml object before.... I'm guessing it's a module that perhaps you installed.... you might want to check the documentation on it, I'm sure it has an option for appending data. In VB, you can open a file for appending as such:
open filename for append as #1

Yes i have installed the ChilkatXml module.
I have checked the documentation of ChilkatXml but could not get much on the appending part.
Have tried
open filename for append as #1
but in my application it is not working and is overwriting the exisitng file.
Is there any other method by which i can append to a file ???
Thanks.
Amit

Only if you want to get crazy, and try to do it through a dos command line...say, using shell, or making a batch file, and then shelling the batch file. Opening a file for append should never over-write anything, unless there is already nothing there. Appending a file means literally to add to the end of. I suppose you could post your code that appends, so we can check it out.
