append

Hi I am having no problem writing to or appending to a file, the only problem is that as soon as I quit the program and then run it again, it creates a new file overwriting my original file. This is a problem, as I am using the text file to keep a running tally.

Is there a way to get an already created text file as an object and then append to it?

Thanks in advance.
