File won't write

[Kman1011]

I'm trying to write a sub that will store data for gamesaves. But for some reason the file will not write.
I get the error message "Attempting to read beyond file"

but the writefile routine clearly shows the file being written

Not sure I understand why this is not working.

If there is a glitch somebody sees. let me know. Working with these files can be extremely frustrating.  :'( Had three problems with them already. Figured out one of them.

S.O.S.

Sounds like a bug then and i'm not alone

    I click on the About... in the menu bar. It says v. 1.63. There is no 'e' after the version number. I was certain I had downloaded the latest update.

I'll try something different.
