Private Sub SaveListItem(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal LI As ListViewItem)
        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(FileName) OrElse LI Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

        Dim fStream As System.IO.FileStream
        Dim sWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter

        Try
            fStream = New System.IO.FileStream(FileName, IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate)
            sWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(fStream)

            For i = 0 To LI.SubItems.Count - 1
                sWriter.WriteLine(LI.SubItems(i).Text)
            Next

            sWriter.Close()
            fStream.Close()

        Catch ex As Exception

        Finally
            If fStream IsNot Nothing Then fStream.Dispose()
            If sWriter IsNot Nothing Then sWriter.Dispose()
        End Try
    End Sub

That is the one that I tried to manipulate to do 5 subposts but I could not figure it out. Can you show me the code to do 5 subposts?

[Unhnd_Exception]

It can't be the one you tried. I wrote it a little while ago.

Tell exactly what you want and what you mean by subposts and I'll send you the code.

Not the code that you wrote but the code that codeorder wrote, if you would have payed attention. Look at the link that codeorder put in the post and you will see what I need but with 5 subposts.

Don't need to pay attention. Don't care. Writing 5 items or "subposts" is a pretty trivial task. The code I gave you does it. Just need to do it 5 times.
