Well, are the contents actually html code, or do you need to convert the contents to html?
If it's just that you want to write the contents as an html file (it's a text file) then you just write or print it to a file. Here's a place to start... I suggest researching the subjects of: Open, Print #, and write# as well as "freefile".
Open "c:\temp\test.html" for output as #1 ' (use freefile)
Write #1, text1.text
close #1

Hi XWalrus2:
To build on TheTuna's suggestion, to build an actual HTML file, you will need to add the basic HTML tags.
Code:
Dim intFileNumber as Integer
intFileNumber = FreeFile
Open "c:\temp\test.html" for output as #intFileNumber
Write #intFileNumber, "<HTML>"
Write #intFileNumber, "<BODY>"
Write #intFileNumber, text1.text
Write #intFileNumber, "</BODY>"
Write #intFileNumber, "</HTML>"
Close #intFileNumberThis is the minimum HTML coding that one should use in building an HTML file. There is a lot of other tags and a lot of optional parameters in HTML coding.
