Sorry about the rules stuff. Anyway, I'm having trouble with saving and loading files (Not files, really. I mean like the value of a progress Bar) for my program. I'm using Visual Basic. And the program is for Windows 95 and above.

Check out the thread titled "File Reading VB6"

there is no high-level, easy way. to save, you just write to a file in a specified format (now, just the value of the bar, but later, maybe more), and to load, you just read the specified format from the file

uhm, you know you could put all these posts on the same thread instead of making a new one everytime...

rdd, that is a completely useless post and pointlessly nasty post. I don't know why you made it.

For the value of a progressbar, it's just a variable. This applies to all properties. You can access the variable by saying the name of the control, then a dot, then the property you wish to twiddle (or read).

For instance, if you have a text box named "username", you could get the text in there and pop up a message box with that by saying something like:

MsgBox "Hello, " + username.text

or set it with something like:

username.text = "nameless one"

I'll leave changing that to the value of a progressbar as an exercise for the reader.

There are a few shortcuts, but I think they make code harder to read so I won't mention them.
