filename Required. String expression that identifies the file to open.
iomode Optional. Constant, either ForReading(=1) ForWriting(=2) or ForAppending(=8)
create Optional. Boolean value that indicates whether a new file can be created if the specified filename doesn't exist. The value is True if a new file is created, False if it isn't created. If omitted, a new file isn't created.
format Optional. One of three Tristate values used to indicate the format of the opened file. If omitted, the file is opened as ASCII.

Set a = fs.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForAppending, FALSE)
...
a.Close
